Recent history of Turkish casinos and gambling
Casinos were allowed beginning in 1990 but restrictions were placed on them in July 1996 and then casinos were banned outright in December that year a month after authorizing the state lottery, Milli Piyango.
Online gambling that was not regulated by the state was banned in 2007 with some success.
Many illegal casinos were set up in basements and out of the way places, but by 2011 there were reports of as many as 20 "members only" 5-star casinos in Istanbul alone.
It's unclear if any of the casinos have remained open after the July 15, 2016, Turkish coup d'état attempt and the subsequent crackdown, arrests, and purging by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
