Italy is the land of romance, with historical monuments reaching the Seven Wonders of the World such as the Tower of Pisa to the Vatican City, which offers a spectacle in itself with its famous paintings and sculptures. Italy has so much to offer that it will make you want to return again and again.
However, romance and history are not always the only attractions in Italy, there is another side that attracts tourists and fellow citizens alike and that is the Italian casinos. Most big Italian cities will have a casino, especially if it’s a tourist attraction, and frankly, what part of Italy isn’t a tourist attraction?
Italy boasts of having kept its casinos open even during the war and many flocked to the place during that time as well to escape reality and in search of lady luck. Of all the casinos (and there are some), the Casino of Venice is the most famous and the one that wins the most money of all. Their success has made it possible to open another Venice Casino, but this time in Malta, which will ensure them top position in the future as well.
Italian casinos are very diverse and an example of this is the casino located in the city of Campione on the border between Italy and Switzerland. To get to ‘Casino The Campione d’Italia’ you have to cross the border on the Milan-Como highway; the experience is well worth it as the casino has its own house rules which are posted at the entrance and which you should read very carefully. The good part is that if lady luck smiles at you while you are playing there, all you have to do is open a bank account in Switzerland.
Most Italian casinos will open at approximately 2pm and close between 4am and 6am. The legal age to gamble and drink alcoholic beverages is 18 and a recent photo ID will be required; the best thing to bring is your driver’s license not passport. Most of the Italian casinos are fluent in English due to the large number of tourists that visit this beautiful country every year.
You will find all the international casino games available in most Italian casinos with the applicable international rules. Enjoy the diversity and passion of this Roman country and who knows in the country of saints and angels, lady luck may also smile on you.
