Christian Frommelt, the director of the Liechtenstein Institut, an independent research organization, said casinos were likely to remain a divisive issue. “It is rare to have such a major debate in Liechtenstein and for an issue to get so politicized,” he said. Unlike their glitzy cousins in Las Vegas or Macau, Liechtenstein’s casinos are modest affairs. There are no sprawling gambling resorts with fireworks shows or reputations for never sleeping — no, these casinos are more focused on slots and tables. And because gamblers are allowed to light up while playing, they are also smoky.
