"The gambling licenses which have long been
granted to Baden-Baden and the other German spas
expires this year by limitation; and
Emperor Williams has positively refused to renew
them, the salons will all be closed."

The above is from a Harper's Magazine 1872 article
(22-pages; 24-illustrations) titled: "The German
Gambling Spas" and reports about the casinos at
Baden-Badn, Homburg, Wiesbaden, Ems and the people
who played them (up to 1872 publication).

I recently acquired the original article that was
offered on eBay, and once cleared with Harper's,
I'll have copies available.
