You've solved a mystery for me.
I'm the owner of the Casino. I knew it was some kind of Valco/Supro thang but you've helped fill in a few blanks.
Thanks again.

I've also seen one of these with the brand Minuetta. So Casino is yet another to add to the list. The foil serial number makes the date 1964-68. The pickup is the same type that was used on most Supro/National/Airline gtrs, a Valco-owned patent - the pole pieces on the E strings double as screws, going direct into the top of the body.

Namely short-scale 'baseball bat' neck held on by two retaining screws, wooden bridge, knobs and pick-guard similarities.
One of the shots, of the headstock shows a ghostly image of 'Casino' 'brand'.
Pickup appears to be the same as the Supro Sahara style though so far I haven't worked out what's holding it to the body. I'm guessing one of the 'pole pieces'.
The seller believed it to be a DeArmond pickup?
It came with the original lightweight hardcase with an alligator style print. Judging by the pots I'm guessing it's a March 1965 manufacture or close to it.
