If you needed direct questions for the exact sentence 'There used to be a big casino', you could say:
- Was there a casino here?
- What used to be here?
If you needed indirect questions (example: a tour guide explaining to tourists about the casino), you could use:
- What is interesting about this place?
- What happened to this building?
The indirect questions are a little bit more natural than the direct questions though.
Let me know if you need further help ^^

@breenatheseira: ok so I have only one does this sound natural: what happened to this building "again?"
- Inglés (UK) Casi fluido
Yes, it does, if the 'tour guide' has already explained the history of the building and the tourist repeated the question.
I would omit 'again' if the question was asked for the first time

@breenatheseira: I totally got it. Absolutely when it was asked for the first time, it seemed kinda weird. Thanks
