The Casinò di Campione is the largest employer in Campione d\'Italia, an Italian enclave (and tax-haven) within Switzerland\'s Canton of Ticino, on the shores of Lake Lugano. The casino was founded in 1917, opened in 1933, and is owned by the Italian government, and operated by the municipality. The income from the casino is sufficient for the operation of Campione without the imposition of taxes, or obtaining of other revenue. The casino offers roulette, chemin de fer, baccarat, black jack, poker, and slot machines.

The Casino became prominent in 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. On its website, the casino denies any knowledge of this.^{[citation needed]}
