Casino was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales originally created in 1930 and named after Casino. The 1929 redistribution increased the number of seats in the rural zone,[1] and Casino was created from parts of Tenterfield and Clarence both of which were held by the Country Party.
