What CASINO’ DI CAMPIONE S.P.A. does

Casinò di Campione S.p.A. — Società Benefit is a historic Italian gaming and entertainment operator founded in 1917, headquartered in Campione d'Italia, an Italian enclave within the Swiss canton of Ticino. The company runs its destination casino from the 36,000 sqm Palazzo del Casinò designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta (inaugurated 2007), which houses 500+ slot machines across two halls, more than seven table game variants (French roulette, Fair Roulette, blackjack, punto banco, Russian poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, and traditional Trente et Quarante and Chemin de Fer), a dedicated PokerStars Live Room on the third floor, the Riviera Restaurant on the seventh floor with 180° Lake Lugano views, and the 600-capacity Salone delle Feste event hall on the ninth floor. The complex has a gaming floor capacity of 3,100 people and 450 underground parking spaces.

The company's revenue model is transaction-based across three intertwined streams. Gaming operations (slots and table games) are the dominant line, generating €61,034,865 in FY2025, up 14.4% YoY from €53.49 million in FY2024, with EBITDA of €21.33 million and net income of €14.35 million. Secondary streams include hospitality (Riviera Restaurant covering up to 120 covers and event catering via partner AFM Riviera) and venue rental (Salone delle Feste for corporate galas, weddings, conferences, concerts, and sports events). Pricing is transactional throughout: cash games from €1/€2 to €10/€20, ISOP poker tournament buy-ins from online satellites to a €990 Main Event, Michelin-starred gala dinners at €150 per person, and Jazz Royale concert tickets at €40.

The company pursues an event-driven go-to-market anchored by the ISOP Italian Poker Championship powered by PokerStars, layered cultural partnerships (Blue Note Milano, Claudio Sadler, Pallacanestro Cantù, Teatro Sociale di Como), themed slot promotions (Tuesday Mystery Club), and a cross-channel presence spanning website, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Casinò di Campione is currently operating under a multi-year concordato preventivo restructuring plan initiated after its 2018 bankruptcy, with FY2025 operating cash flow of €21.3 million being used to repay creditors ahead of schedule under a new convention with the Comune di Campione d'Italia running through 2041.
