Casinos in Italy

3 venues recorded across 2 regions and destinations.

Italy has only a handful of land-based casinos, a consequence of licences granted historically to particular municipalities rather than through a general scheme. Venice claims the oldest continuously operating gaming house in the world, founded as the Ridotto in 1638 and now run by the city across two sites.

The other licences sit at Sanremo on the Ligurian coast, at Saint-Vincent in the Aosta Valley and at Campione d'Italia, the enclave inside Swiss territory. Municipal ownership is common, so casino revenue is a direct item in local budgets.
