The Casino de la Vallée in Saint-Vincent is one of the largest and oldest operating casinos in Italy, established in 1948 and housed in a grand early-20th-century building in the centre of the mountain spa town of Saint-Vincent. The facility occupies a prominent position on Viale Piemonte, easily reached from the Saint-Vincent/Châtillon railway station by a hotel shuttle or a 20-minute walk. The casino complex encompasses a full range of table games — roulette (both French and American), blackjack, punto banco, and poker — alongside an extensive electronic gaming hall with hundreds of slot machines. A dedicated poker room hosts regular tournaments and cash game tables. The adjoining Grand Hotel Billia, built in the Belle Époque style, is directly connected to the casino and offers spa and wellness facilities including thermal pools, saunas, and a beauty centre available to non-hotel guests by day-pass. The spa's thermal water facilities draw on mineral springs that historically made Saint-Vincent a fashionable 19th-century resort. The casino hosts live concerts, theatre evenings, and seasonal events throughout the year in its main performance hall. Dress code enforcement at the casino is selective but smart-casual attire is expected in the table game rooms. Identification is required for entry. The minimum gambling age in Italy is 18. The casino also contains two restaurants with menus at different price points and several bars.
