Italian is the official language in:
<ul>
 	<li>Italy</li>
 	<li>Vatican (along with Latin)</li>
 	<li>San Marino</li>
 	<li>Switzerland (along with German, French and Romansh)</li>
</ul>
It is also recognized as a 2nd official language in several regions of Croatia and Slovenia.

It ranks 20th in the world in terms of prevalence. For millions of people in the world, spoken Italian is 2nd after their native language. It is very rich but its colloquial version is perhaps less well known than its school (educational) version.
<h2>Legalization and regulation of gambling/online gambling in Italy</h2>
Fortunately, gambling is legal in Italy! The country supports gambling at the state level. The basic law regulating this activity in Italy was adopted in 2010. Today, almost all entertainment is allowed here:
<ul>
 	<li>card games</li>
 	<li>sports betting and sweepstakes</li>
 	<li>slots and other games controlled by a random number generator</li>
 	<li>lotteries</li>
 	<li>bingo</li>
 	<li>board games</li>
</ul>
Gambling control in the country is carried out by the Ministry of the Interior and the Autonomous Administration of State Monopolies.

Gambling establishments are managed by private companies or municipal organizations. There is no general tax on gambling business, each region has its own.
