Holland Casino Schiphol

  1. It has been a few years back since I played at the airside casino but back then they had different rules compared to the other Holland Casino's in the Netherlands. For example stand-off with Blackjack and you lost, also double zero with roulette.
  2. Holland Casino Schiphol Airport The casino in Amsterdam is a relatively small casino. The casino’s official name is Holland Casino Schiphol Airport. It offers a small number of slot machines.

Review - Editor's personal experience at the Holland Casino Amsterdam:
This is a large and popular casino on three floor levels. The casino is very busy at the weekend. There is a wide range of minimum bets on the table games, starting from 1 Euro. It is customary to tip the dealer when you win at roulette and you get half your even-money bet when the outcome is zero. The food at the restaurant is good and at reasonable prices, and the service is excellent. There is a daily entrance fee of 5 Euro, but you should be able to get a free entry coupon from the Hotel.
Rating:Very good casino!

This is a very small casino but nice and clean. It is open only during daytime.

There are about 50 slot/video machines and just three table games, one of which is a double zero American roulette, minimum bet 5 Euro. The other two tables are blackjack, minimum bet 10 Euro.

Useful information on the Netherlands
General: The country is called Netherlands (translated: low-lands) and not 'Holland' which is the name of two provinces (North and South) in the Netherlands. Amsterdam is the 'de jure' capital, The Hague is the 'de facto' capital.
Provinces: The modern day Netherlands is divided into twelve provinces. The twelve provinces are listed below with their respective capital city:

    Province name : Capital city
  1. Drenthe : Assen
  2. Flevoland : Lelystad
  3. Friesland : Leeuwarden
  4. Gelderland : Arnhem
  5. Groningen : Groningen
  6. Limburg : Maastricht
  7. Noord Brabant (North Brabant) : 's-Hertogenbosch (also, abbreviated as Den Bosch)
  8. Noord Holland (North Holland) : Haarlem
  9. Overijssel : Zwolle
  10. Zuid Holland (South Holland) : The Hague (Dutch: Den Haag, also 's-Gravenhage)
  11. Utrecht : Utrecht
  12. Zeeland (sea land; by the sea) : Middelburg

Casinos: In the Netherlands the idea of legalizing casino gaming was raised prior to the Second World War. However, it was not until 1974 that the country’s Betting and Gaming Act was revised to allow the establishment of legal casinos. All the live-games casinos in the Netherlands are government owned.
Currency: The Netherlands was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999, and therefore the currency of the Netherlands is the Euro.
Driving: Speed cameras, speed traps and unmarked vehicles are widely used to monitor speeding; exceeding the maximum speed limit can incur heavy penalties including substantial fines. Be extra vigilant for trams; they have priority over other traffic and are well known to exercise that right. If a tram or a bus stops in the middle of the road to allow passengers on and off, you must stop.
Airports: Schiphol Amsterdam Airport, Rotterdam Airport, Maastricht Aachen Airport, Eindhoven Airport

Europe >Benelux >Netherlands >Western Netherlands >North Holland >Amstelland > Schiphol Airport

Schiphol Airport (AMS IATA) is one of the busiest airports in the world. It is 15 km (9.3 mi) southwest of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It serves the city of Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. It is one of the major hubs in Europe with flights between many destinations in Asia, Europe and North America. It is home to KLM, the Dutch flag carrier airline. As of 2016, Schiphol airport is the third busiest in Europe behind London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle and ahead of Frankfurt Airport as measured by passenger numbers.

Understand[edit]

Map of Schiphol Airport

Well-connected

Amsterdam Schiphol is one of the best-connected airports in the world. It goes back in part to KLM's century-long history and the even longer Dutch tradition of global trade and exploration. only Frankfurt Airport and Istanbul Airport receive direct flights from more countries than Schiphol. KLM (and other airlines serving AMS) do their very best to expand on this excellent position.

Holland

Orientation[edit]

Entrance

Schiphol has a one-terminal concept. Which means, that all the departure halls are in one building. However, this can mean long walks from one connection flight to the other. The airport is divided in many different zones. The ground floor before security has the entrance of the airport, the railway station (with the platforms underground), the four Arrivals halls, and Schiphol Plaza, the central shopping zone. On the 1st floor you can find the check-in desks and Departure Halls 1, 2 and 3. From this floor you can go to security and passport control if catching a non-Schengen flight and enter the transit area.

The terminal is divided into three lounges designated 1, 2 and 3. Piers (also known as concourses) connect to these lounges. It is possible to walk from one concourse to another, even to those connected to different lounges. However, keep in mind that if you're going from lounge 1 to lounge 2 and 3 you must clear immigration as you are leaving the Schengen area.

The exception to this is Lounge 4: it is only connected to Concourse M for low-cost carriers. Once past security, passengers in Concourse M cannot access any other lounges or concourses. Lounge 4 has very few facilities. If catching a connecting flight from one of the M gates, you must exit the secure zone though baggage claim and enter lounge 4 like any departing passenger.

Few airlines and destinations have a dedicated concourse. KLM and Transavia use all gates except for Concourses H and M.

  • Lounge 1 consists of concourses B and C, dedicated to Schengen areas. Gates D59 through D87, the Schengen flights departing from gates D are reached by escalator from Lounge 1.
  • Lounge 2 consists of concourses E and gates D3 through D57,
  • Lounge 3 consists of concourses F, G and H. They serve non-Schengen areas. Concourse H is used by low-cost carriers.
  • Lounge 4 consists of concourse M, a dedicated Schengen area for low-cost carriers.

History[edit]

Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase, with a few barracks and a field serving as platform and runways. When civil aircraft started to use the field (17 December 1920), it was often called Schiphol-les-bains. The Fokker aircraft manufacturer started a factory near Schiphol Airport in 1919. Schiphol's name is derived from a former fortification named Fort Schiphol which was part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Before 1852, the Haarlemmermeer polder in which the airport lies was a large lake, in the shallow waters of which sudden violent storms could claim many ships. This was the main reason for reclaiming it. In English, Schiphol translates to 'ship grave', a reference to the many ships lost in the area.

KLM was founded on 7 October 1919 by Albert Plesman, making it the oldest carrier in the world still operating under its original name, though the company stopped operating during World War II—apart from the operations in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. The first KLM flight was on 17 May 1920, from Croydon Airport, London to Amsterdam carrying two British journalists and a number of newspapers. In 1921 KLM started scheduled services, and by 1926 it was offering flights to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Bremen, Copenhagen and Malmö. Intercontinental flights to the Netherlands East Indies started in 1929. This was for several years the world's longest scheduled air route.

On 1 November 1958 the airline opened the trans-polar route from Amsterdam via Anchorage to Tokyo. Each crew flying the transpolar route over the Arctic was equipped with a winter survival kit, including an AR-10 carbine for use against polar bears in the event the plane was forced down onto the polar ice. KLM merged with Air France in May 2004 to form Air France-KLM, but both airlines continue to fly under their distinct brand names.

Flights[edit]

KLM offers worldwide connections. Asia, Europe and North America are particularly well served. Delta Air Lines connects Schiphol with nine US destinations.British Airways offer up to 15 flights per day to three airports in London. Transavia, Easyjet and other low-cost carriers provide a fairly economical way to city-hop to Amsterdam from other cities in Europe.

Ground transportation[edit]

For most travellers, the most convenient way to reach Amsterdam or other major destinations in the Netherlands from the airport is by train, with most destinations reachable either directly or with one change.

By train[edit]

Train ticket machines at Schiphol Airport railway station

Most major destinations in the Netherlands can be reached from Schiphol either directly or with a single change. Use the ticket machines or ticket desks. All machines accept credit or debit cards but do require chip-and-PIN cards.

Alternatively, you can buy an Amsterdam Travel Ticket, which includes a train return ticket to and from Schiphol to any of Amsterdam's stations, plus unlimited travel on all GVB trams, metro and (night)buses for 1, 2 or 3 days.

The train station at Schiphol is located underground, under the main airport hall; trains to Amsterdam Centraal usually run from platform 1 or 2. Note: this is not specific, and can and does change. Information signs are updated when the train enters the tunnel. It is the same platform, though it matters on which side the train stops. This is why you'll see a lot of locals and tourists waiting just at the end of the escalators or stairs. They eventually go to the right track when it is updated.

For most destinations there are 1 or 2 trains per hour, for more regional destinations trains are more frequent. There are 4 to 5 trains per hour between Schiphol and Amsterdam in peak times. Regional trains run all night, although between 01:00 and 05:00 only once an hour. The price and duration of the journey are the same as during the day. However, trains for further destinations will generally not run at night. Check before you travel.

International trains to Belgium or France stop at Schiphol.

The OV-chipkaart is a stored-value smart card used for all public transport in the Netherlands. You can purchase an OV-chipkaart from vending machines located in the baggage claim area or at the airport's train station.

  • Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal. There are plenty of direct trains from the Schiphol to the Amsterdam Centraal. A journey takes 16-18 minutes.€4.20 if using an OV-chipkaart; €5.20 single ticket.
  • Schiphol to Amsterdam Lelylaan. If your accommodation is located near Vondelpark or Museumplein it's fastest to catch a train to Amsterdam Lelylaan station and connect to a tram from there. Trains leave every 5 to 10 minutes.€3.00 if using an OV-chipkaart; €4.00 single ticket.
  • Schiphol to Rotterdam Centraal. If traveling to Rotterdam the fastest way to travel is by taking the IC direct that takes you directly to Rotterdam by high-speed rail in 24 minutes.€14.80 if using an OV-chipkaart; €15.80 single ticket.
  • Schiphol to Paris Gare du Nord. Direct high speed Thalys trains run from Schiphol to Antwerp, Brussels-Midi and Paris. Tickets cannot be booked by using the machines at the station and need to be booked in advance or at the ticket office. There is no set price so it's cheapest the earlier you book.

By bus[edit]

  • Amsterdam Airport Express (Bus #397). Connexxion operates a service between the airport and Museumplein, Rijksmuseum, and Leidseplein. The bus is only worth taking if these stops are closer to your accommodation. Buses depart from platform B9 daily from 05:01-00:21 every approx. 15 minutes. In the night bus #97 runs the same route roughly every hour. Tickets are sold by a marked minivan parked at the bus stop outside the terminal during daytime.€6.50 (from driver); e-ticket €6.50 (single) €11.25 (return) €1.00 (child under 11) or consider Amsterdam Travel Ticket. The fare is €3.55 if paid by OV-chipkaart.

By taxi[edit]

Do not use a taxi unless there is no alternative; travel to Schiphol by train or by bus, if possible. Taxis from Schiphol are unexpectedly expensive. You pay around €7.50 (as of Oct 08) as a minimum charge and that includes the first 2 km. Then the meter starts racing. The ride costs about €40-50 to go to, say, the Leidseplein. Depending on the time of day and traffic levels, it could take only 25 min. If you're unlucky, it could take twice as long. Choose the nicest cab as that driver is more likely to be reputable. You don't have to pick the first taxi in line. If possible, reserve a cab up-front, this will ensure a fixed price for the ride. If taking a taxi to Schiphol from the city there's a flat fee of €35. You can also catch an Uber from the city center to Schiphol, there is no fixed price.

There is a way to get 50% discount on your ride to Amsterdam or 20% discount to other destinations. Here's how it works: Look for an upcoming TCA taxi (spot the roof light!) at the departure halls (on the first floor). Say 'hello' to the driver while the passengers step off. This works out for you and the driver as he's not allowed to wait for customers at the airport and this way he doesn't have to drive back empty.

By shuttle service[edit]

  • Connexxion Hotel Shuttle, ☏+31 38 3394741. Serves over 100 city centre hotels, with 8-seater shared van departures about every 30 minutes between 06:00 and 21:00, cost to most city centre destinations €15.50/25.00 one-way/return—more convenient than the train if you have heavy luggage and still cheaper than a taxi. Buses depart from platform A7 and can be reserved for the trip back
  • UberBlack rides to/from the airport cost a fixed rate of €60.
  • Amsterdam Airport Taxi Services has fixed rate Schiphol Airport transfers to or from the city centre at €49 for a Mercedes E class including a meet and greet special, €65 for a minivan.

By rental car[edit]

If you plan to rent a car for the duration of your stay, Schiphol has several car rental companies on site [1]. Typical opening hours are 06:00-23:00 daily. The car rental desk can be found in Schiphol Plaza, on the same level as the Arrivals. The A4 motorway leads straight from Schiphol to the Amsterdam ring road A10, in about 10 min.

By bike[edit]

If you decided to bring your bicycle on the plane with you, there is a 15-km sign-posted bike route from the airport to Amsterdam. Turn right as you leave the airport terminal: the cycle path starts about 200 m down the road. There is a map of the cycle paths around Schiphol available on this PDF (green lines are cycle paths).

Get around[edit]

The airport is one large terminal, so you never need to leave the building or take a shuttle train. However you can only get around on foot (and travelator, such as the hallway to Concourse B). Expect to walk long distances. This is especially true if you arrive on a Schengen flight and connect to a non-Schengen flight or the other way around, likely in another concourse (pier).

If you are departing, you will go through security first and then passport check if exiting the Schengen area. EU, EEA, Swiss can use fully automated e-gates on departure and arrival. When departing through Schiphol, American, Australian, Canadian, Hong Konger, Japanese, New Zealander and South Korean citizens can use automated immigration facilities in a separate queue. A border agent will still manually stamp your passport after using the machine. Other nationalities will go through another line where manual passport inspection by a border agent takes place.

During busy times (such as the rush around 06:00-09:00), the separate security and passport sessions can take 20-30 or more minutes. Choose flights with adequate connection times.

Schiphol had a major redesign of its concourses to simplify security procedures, which are no longer conducted at the gates. Because the Netherlands is a part of the Schengen area, connecting to a Schengen destination one has to clear immigration at Schiphol even if the Netherlands isn't your final destination in Schengen:

  • If you are staying within the Schengen area, you will not clear immigration, if departing from Schiphol you will pass security. If connecting through Schiphol, you will not go through security.
    • For example if you are flying in from Spain and connecting to Sweden you will not pass security or immigration.
  • If you arrive from a non-Schengen country that has as strict or more strict security procedures than Schiphol (usually the US, UK or Canada), then you will not pass through security again at Schiphol. However you will need to use the Passport Control to cross into the Schengen Zone for most European connections.
    • For example: if you fly in from the United States and are taking a connecting flight to Italy. You will not pass security but will pass through immigration as you are entering the Schengen area in Amsterdam.
    • For example: if you fly in from the United States and are taking a connecting flight to Russia You will not go through security and immigration as you're not entering the Schengen zone.
  • If you arrive from Africa, Asia, or most other nations outside the EU (except the US and Canada), then you will be guided through security processing. There are separate security sections based on whether you will be staying in Schengen or remaining outside of it. If you are entering the Schengen area you'll also pass immigration.
    • For example: if you fly in from South Africa and are heading to Canada, you will go through security but not through immigration as you are traveling between non-Schengen countries.
    • For example: if you fly in from South Africa and are heading to Germany, you will go through both security and immigration as you're entering the Schengen area in Amsterdam

Buy[edit]

The most important thing you need to remember in these European airports is the duty laws for the nation it applies to. There are many shopping options in the airport, although most are owned and operated by the airport and keep their prices artificially high due to lack of competition. Many of the 'exceptional deals' advertised in shops seem to be questionable at best, and still far more expensive than what you'll find outside the airport.

  • 1Albert Heijn. Average sized supermarket located before security in the Plaza area between the train station and departures. Good choice for budget travelers wanting to pick up some food before their flight. Note that because of its location before security you cannot bring purchased drinks on your flight.

Stay safe[edit]

Watch out for pickpockets and baggage thieves on trains: a common trick is a knock on your window to distract you, so that an accomplice can steal your luggage or laptop. Another one is to have an accomplice jam the doors and then steal your luggage. The thief jumps out and the door immediately closes, making it impossible to catch them.

However, railway police have made a great effort to reduce this sort of crime; nowadays it is at 'normal', big-city like levels. It however is recommended not to leave your baggage unattended. This is also announced in the station regularly.

Nearby[edit]

Schiphol was built on reclaimed land, and so are the suburban cities around it. Hoofddorp is the closest town, but it only has a few hotels that could be of use. The most popular attractions for tourists are in Amsterdam, a 20-minute train ride.
