My question is, do we have any notable casino that is been run or owned by any known politician like Trump or another leader?
I do not know any leader that is in high position that owns a casino to be honest. I am talking about Presidents or Vice Presidents. But I am pretty sure that there are Mayors that are at least involved in owning a casino. Even if there were politicians that own casinos, considering the negative image gambling has I do not think these politicians are endorsing their ownserships. They probably keep it secret and only use owning a casino as a business venture.

Lately, politicians have not limited their activities to fighting for political offices and positions but rather have dived into so many other sectors such as interest in Tech and cryptocurrency as we have seen lately with some global leaders getting to the center stage in both tech and cryptocurrency.

Even if we have them, how do we know, because they are not mostly going to be know like that except the informed us or the public as well as the social media, meanwhile we know that most of them wouldn't admit on this choice to announce themselves.

The politicians may only have the money required to operate a gambling platform, but they really don't have the time for managing it, instead they will have to secure such establishment with the experience ones to help them manage the casino due to the nature of their work and the kind of experience they may be having in it.

Do they even make that public? Like in case of Trump, they usually just leave the front lines in businesses like this but in the background, they still hold some power. It's pretty obvious with Trump since he was a founder of the Trump hotels something something (can't recall), but for the rest, it's not as obvious since they might've joined the scene AFTER being a politician. In that case, they'd 100% hide their involvement most of the time. They're politicians man, they'd only want to show what can actually benefit their reputation, and a casino isn't one of them.

They've been doing it for years though, specially local politicians who has wielded a lot of powers like mayors and government. And since everything is online know, they could also into cryptocurrency gambling or at least they are involved or some close associates could be inside already.

It's a very difficult question to answer because there are a lot of casinos already. Maybe not notable as others, but they could really be trying to get into the gambling business. Or as what others have said, they could be in disguise, building companies to front for them so that they have shield in case something nasty happens and can defend themselves.

It's impossible to say how many because they are usually hiding behind some front men and shell companies.

For instance, in the EU politicians have to make everything public once a year, so they have to state what cars they own, every piece of land, every investment account and they always cheat, at least most of them cheat. They assign everything to their wives or kids, especially if kids are very young. This is a known loophole because if you, for instance have 2 children, you can technically own 3 houses and 3 cars, but make your kids the owners of one house and one car each. You will still be able to do what you want with your properties because you're a custodial of your children's wealth until they turn 18, but you don't have to declare it.

I don't no if there is any casino that's own by a politician, already politicians doesn't like a business that would attract a lot of eyes on them and secondly people could misinterpret the money the politician use to open the business to be what was meant for the masses, so actually if there are some politician who own a casino I think they most have already gotten and started the business before they became strong on the politice, so actually I don't no about Donald Trump but if he has any it would be when he hasn't become the president of the United States because already he so many assets.

It's very hard to know unless they declare that they are part owner of a casinos as they can get someone to front for them so that they won't be exposed because somewhat as a politician, they will have to protect themselves. Not defending Trump, but before he entered politics, he was a hotel owner and perhaps part of the gambling industry before. But if you are a politician first and wanted to get your hands on the billion dollar industry of a gambling, maybe you will try to "hide" your name, thus having someone to front you could be the only way. Unless they really wanted to reveal it to the world and then willing to take any accusations and criticisms on yourself. So yes, it's a big possibility that they are already inside the crypto gambling industry but we don't know their faces and their names.

Lately, politicians have not limited their activities to fighting for political offices and positions...

Politicians have never been limited, they have always had a hand in everything and most (probably +99% of them) got rich while in office. Officially, politicians are like some saints, all too good and reverent, but in reality, who knows what they are involved in? We only get information about it when someone investigates it more deeply, but even then the news doesn't reach everyone...

We will never know how many casinos are owned by politicians, probably not even one on paper. My opinion is that there are a lot of them, who are involved in the gambling business in one way or another. Maybe they take a share of the profits, and maybe they just accept bribes to make the gambling law work in the casino's favor (through lower taxes and other benefits). I guess there are other possible options, but who will tell what's really happening behind the curtains?

Not all casino disclose an information about the owner especially when it’s associated with a politician, most time they usually hide few information still their source of income aside the state salary probably for security reasons or fear of what citizens might say in terms of embezzlement. I have never heard of such but, I know most big casino we see are owned by wealthy politicians definitely the number will be much seeing populated casino both old and new aside casino they own other business like investing etc.

 Most of them makes their money from casino profit and use it to fund their political positions, I don't really see why a politician will go and open a casino, it will be too obvious to steal public fund and venture into casino business, they are going to be caught easily. However, politicians love casino games especially the physical one where they can sit together and talk about business and also discuss other things they don't want to discuss in public places.

It's also possible that there many of them in the political space that own a casino but they prefer to live it hidden so they don't have to associate their lifestyle to their independent business. In some cases, these politicians went ahead to register their business into another person's name like their parents so it can looks like it's an inheritance businesses and not their own. Even Donald Trump wouldn't have that time to visit his casino because it's run by another person.

Yes, there are some casinos that belong to politicians, it is most likely, but in general they are not the face of the company, they are more like indirect investors, and they use front men for their legal representation, in this way conflicts of interests are not created, in a visible way, they are generally an open secret.

It is rare to publicly know about politicians assets or source of income so that they don't get tagged of syphoning public funds for their own benefits.
It is so applicable if own one like the casinos. Infact, a more convenient gambling casinos that can be owned by the politicians are the crypto casinos so that oppositions at the top of the authorities does not have regulatory access to invade in with their inconveniences of policies.

Decentralized casinos would also give them the privileges to keep their assets anonymous so the public does not know in case of statical data's of who has of who is diverting public funds to self interests.

So verbally I believe there should be some Crypto casinos out there owned by some politicians but since I have not literally learnt of any, I would admit that I have not seen one yet.

Hmm. I have not seen any casino own by a political leaders but I have seen ex football players own casinos. But since casino is a business firm, and those politicians who are into business can own casinos and tell the government to regulate the policies to favour them. And that will be an enabling environment for them to operate. Political actors always do business that they can hide their stealing funds and casino is one of the business for them hide funds. And I think this is one of the reasons that making the government to put straight laws to regulate the gambling industry.

Well you've got to specify which type of leaders and what part of the world you're referring to exactly. 

There's going to be examples that you just dont know about nor do I or anyone else for that matter.  Meaning there's going to be some politicians who do own casinos in some aspect but they are smart and dont have it tied directly to themselves.

Here in the US I'm not really sure what the exact laws are around this, but I'm pretty sure in many cases it's not allowed.  That said take a look at Donny Trump.  He's quite literally gearing up to create a gambling site , DeFi exchange, in which is pure gambling not go mention pretty much all a big fat scam.

I don’t know of any casino that is currently owned by a known politician, the fact that none of them is listed online doesn’t mean that no politician owns a casino; you know it’s possible for a casino to operate without he owner doxing himself so a politician could take this approach to create his own casino and operate it under the radar without exposing his identity to the public.
I know for sure that some of the online casinos are owned by politicians and they may hire another person to run the business to hide their identities, many politicians from my part of the world have engaged on that way lf corrupt practices and they have been getting away with it since no one can trace those assets to them, the casino is one business that requires a lot of funding to establish but it also generates a lot of profits on the long run so definitely many of those politicians will fine casinos as save heaven to hide their stolen fund.
The world of politic has gone beyond taking of power to rule, it's all about the money and different ways to manipulate with every opportunity. Gambling is a common practice since they are not strictly instructed to avoid gambling and knowing it's one way to own legitimate access to free flow of money, also why they can't deposit so much in the bank and not get discovered, investing into business which requires plenty of money shouldn't fall far from their reasoning, it won't be under their names, i haven't heard of any but since most politicians sources of wealth are mostly untraced we cannot exempt such practice from like this.

I don't know about other countries but in the Philippines, politicians are not allowed to own casinos, have part of a casino or even gamble. that being said, I don't know if they strictly enforce these rules because there have been news I've seen in the past about politicians who were seen gambling.

My question is, do we have any notable casino that is been run or owned by any known politician like Trump or another leader?
for Trump specifically, as far as I know, he doesn't own any casinos right now but he did open several in the past but it was eventually closed or sold(at least this is what I remember reading in the past).

This is very rare but one thing i know is there is no sector you won't find politicians investing in. Even if they are not owners of the companies then there are strong stakeholders and shareholders of that company. The gambling industry is printing money so i know some politicians have invested in it. However, i dont think they will want to be the sole owner of any casino based on reputation issues. They will rather choose to remain anonymous owners.
