It is generally agreed that Italy is the site of the first land-based casino dated as 1638. 

The Casino di Venezia is located in Venice along the Grand Canal and was originally a theatre with a small gambling area. It is still in operation today although it has moved venues.

Although Italy allows casino gambling, there are only actually four casinos in the country and they are located in the most tourist friendly areas. Additionally there are hundreds of small slot halls that only allow a small number of electronic games. 

So, let’s take a closer look at the land-based casinos you can find in Italy.

Italy Land-Based Casino Operators

Italian casinos are not generally the modern resorts and complexes that you see in Las Vegas. The casinos in Italy are sometimes housed in historical buildings and generally come with a degree of elegance and refinement that you won’t find elsewhere. The main operators are: 

• Municipality of Campione d'Italia – Owns the Casinò di Campione on the shores of Lake Lugano
• Municipality of Venice – Owns Casino di Venezia in two locations Ca' Vendramin Calergi and Ca' Noghera
• The Kretinsky consortium – Owns Casino de la Vallée (Saint Vincent Casino)
• Municipality of Sanremo – Owns Casino di Sanremo (San Remo Casino)

Italy Casino Resorts 

So, just what do these Italian casinos have to offer gamblers? Let’s take a look. 

• Casino di Venezia – The oldest casino in the world is still up and running although it moved in the 1950’s to the Palazzo Vendramin Calergi .The building is a 15^th century palace and is one of the most elegant buildings on the Venice Grand Canal. The casino offers 600 slot machines, 40 table games and a restaurant.
• Casinò di Campione – Once Europe’s largest casino, this casino closed due to bankruptcy in 2018 but reopened in 2022. Originally founded in 1917, it moved into a new building in 2007 so is the most modern state of the art casino in Italy. It has 500 slots, 56 table games and one restaurant.
• Casino di Sanremo – Dating back to 1905, the San Remo Casino lies on the Italian Rivera and is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture. The casino is split over several floors and different rooms and guests can take in the full surroundings of this exquisite old building and all of its original features. There’s a total of 479 slot games, 50 table games, a poker room, restaurant, bar, roof garden and an elegant theatre. 

More Than Gambling

Italy is one of the most beautiful places to visit and is steeped in historical landmarks and spectacular architecture. Here are just some of the highlights:

• Iconic Attractions – Must see places include the Colosseum, where gladiators once battled and Vatican City where you can see the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The Trevi Fountain is where most tourists visit to throw in a coin and make a wish and the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a hot selfie spot too. 
• Unique spots – There is no place on earth like Venice and its iconic Grand Canal. Take a gondolier ride, stroll through the narrow winding cobbled streets taking in the shops and cafes, walk over the Rialto Bridge and visit St. Mark’s Basilica & Piazza San Marco. Or visit Pompeii where you can walk the streets and even climb Mount Vesuvius to look into the crater.
• Beautiful places – Italy is awash with spectacular cities and places to visit. The Amalfi Coast is a prime example as is Lake Como with lakeside towns such as Bellagio. Verona is the home of Romeo and Juliet while Tuscany, Sicily and Capri are all stunning. Don’t forget to sample all of the delicious food and wine too. 
• Renaissance Art - At the Uffizi Gallery in Florence you can see Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" as well as works from Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo. If you want to see one of the world’s most famous paintings – The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci - then it is located in Milan, in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

Important Considerations

The legal age for casino gambling in Italy is 18 years or above. It’s always advisable to take along photographic ID as proof of age.
