The Casin\u00f2 Lugano is one of the largest casinos in Switzerland and the flagship of gambling in Ticino. It is housed in the historic former Teatro Kursaal directly on the lakeside promenade of Lake Lugano, the very building where the first ever Eurovision Song Contest took place in 1956. The casino opened on 29 November 2002 with a Type A licence from the Swiss Federal Gaming Board (ESBK); at the end of 2023 that licence was renewed for the years 2025 to 2044. <\/p>\n
With more than 445 slot machines, the Casin\u00f2 Lugano says it operates the largest slot park in Switzerland and one of the largest in Europe. There are also classic table games such as American and French roulette, blackjack, punto banco and chemin de fer, plus in-house creations such as Lugano Baccarat. Play is with chips in CHF and EUR, convenient for guests from nearby Italy. The venue is operated by Casin\u00f2 Lugano SA, majority-owned by the City of Lugano, with Casinos Austria holding a minority stake. <\/p>\n
One special feature: with Swiss4Win, the Casin\u00f2 Lugano operates the first legal online casino in Ticino. On site, the gourmet restaurant Elementi, the VIP Oriental Room and free valet parking round out the offering. Entry is free; all that is required is valid ID and a minimum age of 18. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
