The casino at night

The Casinò di Campione was Europe's oldest casino,^[1]^[2] as well as the largest employer in the municipality of Campione d'Italia, an Italian exclave within Switzerland's Canton of Ticino, on the shores of Lake Lugano. The casino was founded in 1917 as a site to gather information from foreign diplomats during the First World War. It was owned by the Italian government, and operated by the municipality. The income from the casino was sufficient for the operation of Campione without the imposition of taxes, or obtaining of other revenue.^[3] It was Europe’s largest casino.^[4]

In 2007, the casino moved into new premises, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta. The new premises provided a floor space of more than 55,000 square metres (590,000 sq ft) on 9 floors with 3 further levels of underground parking, giving the casino space for 56 tables and 500 slot machines. The new building was built alongside the old one, which dated from 1933 and has since been demolished.^[3]^[5]

The casino was illuminated by night, and the building is clearly visible across the lake from the city waterfront of Lugano. It offered roulette, chemin de fer, baccarat, black jack, poker, and slot machines.^[6]

Located on the shores of Lake Lugano in the Province of Como in the Lombardy region of Italy, Campione d’Italia ceased operating on July 27 2018, since then a small group of protesters has been reminding the Italian government that the survival of the Italian enclave on Lake Lugano depends on the existence of the casino.

The casino became prominent in the news in 2006 when the son of the last king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia, was accused of procuring girls for prostitution to be sent to clients of the casino.^[3]

The casino was declared bankrupt on 27 July 2018 and is currently closed.^[2]
