Casinò di Sanremo is one of the oldest and most prestigious casinos in Europe, built in a striking Liberty style on the Italian Riviera coastline. This page explains what the casino offers, what entry actually looks like, the dress code in each hall, and the most convenient way to get there from Israel.

Casinò di Sanremo opened in 1905 and is one of only four licensed casinos in Italy. The Liberty-style building (Italy's version of Art Nouveau) is an attraction in itself, with a magnificent seafront facade and historic halls that have preserved an early-20th-century atmosphere alongside a fully modernized gaming floor.
The traditional gaming floor (Salle Royale and Salle Blanche) offers French and English roulette, blackjack, punto banco (baccarat) and chemin de fer — classic, elegant, slower-paced games associated with old European casinos. There's also a poker room with periodic tournaments and cash games, drawing players from across Italy and Europe.
Unlike the classic gaming halls, the slot machine floor (Sala Slot) has free entry with no strict dress code or fee, making it accessible even for those who just want to experience the atmosphere without committing to a high budget.
Entry to the classic gaming halls requires a valid ID or passport and a minimum age of 18. The dress code varies by hall: the slots floor allows casual clothing, while the roulette and blackjack halls require smart attire (no ripped jeans, flip-flops or sportswear), and some evenings require a suit or jacket for men.
The casino is open every day of the week, with the slots floor opening earlier in the day and running into the small hours, while the classic gaming halls open in the late afternoon and operate until early morning. It's worth checking updated hours on the casino's official website before visiting, as they change seasonally.
The most convenient way to arrive is a flight from Tel Aviv to Nice, France (about an hour’s drive from there along the Riviera to San Remo), or a flight to Milan followed by a roughly 1.5–2 hour drive or train ride along the coast. Anyone combining the visit with a broader Italy trip can add San Remo as a stopover en route from Genoa or Nice.
Besides San Remo, Italy's three other licensed casinos are Casinò di Venezia (the world's oldest official casino, operating since 1638), Casinò di Campione d'Italia (the Italian enclave inside Switzerland), and Casino de la Vallée in Saint-Vincent, in the northern Aosta Valley region. Each offers a different character — from Venetian history to the alpine scenery of Saint-Vincent.
A comfortable visit to San Remo including a meal, accommodation and a reasonable gambling budget runs around €150–350 per day, depending on hotel level and play volume in the classic halls. Before setting a gambling budget, it's worth reading about responsible gambling. Anyone looking for poker without flying to Italy can join the Israeli club on ClubGG with Hebrew support and a closed community, or practice for free on our free poker page.
