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]

Also the variety of table games provided is very nice, here you can still play games like Trente et Quarante, Chemin de Fer and Craps, actually one of the very few.

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

The bankruptcy of the casino: social, political and economic aspects[edit]

The bankruptcy of the Municipal Casino of Campione d'Italia cannot be considered as the failure of any company: on 27 July 2018 this event puts an end to the traditions handed down over the years, to the dealers' families who alternated generation after generation in work at the Casino. A company of the size of the Casino of Campione leaves deep marks on the community that gravitates around it, changes it, imposes lifestyles as well as guaranteeing a high quality of life for all the people residing in the municipality. In the Casino of Campione you could not work if you were not in some way linked to the Campione community: you had to be accredited to be part of it, almost as if you needed the guarantee that you would be committed to supporting the community and not only to receive the benefits . Somehow it was necessary to take sides, to support a political party or another: political choices were then linked to company and trade union ones. Understanding Campione's social, political and economic plot is not trivial and perhaps even those who have lived it, have only perceived some aspects of it, without fully understanding it. The bankruptcy of the Casino is a milestone in memory of a change that has inevitably shifted the balance even in reality that until a few years earlier could count on the stability generated by easy, consolidated and consistent profits. A global economic crisis has impacted this reality that has not been able to or could not be able to change, aspects that are partly detailed in the book 'The Crisis of Campione d'Italia: The end of the largest and most historic casino in Europe' Amazon Kindle Edition
