Monte Carlo Casino, located in the largest area of ​​one of the smallest countries in the world - Monaco, is among the oldest Monaco online gambling sites in the world. It is also the first gaming house on the Old Continent, whose popularity and prestige have not diminished over the years. Perhaps the world will no longer find a casino more magnificent and enjoying the same fame as the Monte Carlo casino!

Casino de Monte-Carlo Facts

Throughout its history, the Monte Carlo Casino has witnessed impressive winnings and numerous dramas and has acquired many legends.

  • So, His Majesty Leopold II, King of the Belgians, secretly met his young lover, the courtesan Blanche Delacroix, in the gambling establishment, and eventually, he married ... five days before his own death.
  • In addition to the James Bond films, the following films were also filmed on the premises of the Monte Carlo casino: “Catch a Thief” (directed by Alfred Hitchcock) and Coco, dedicated to the incomparable Madame Chanel.
  • Casino owners have a very competent and thoughtful personnel policy. You will not find random people among his employees, many people have been working here for 25 years or more.
  • Decks of cards are stored in a special room in which the temperature is maintained at +20 degrees Celsius. Someone even joked about this: “The conditions of their storage are like those of expensive vintage wines.” In the Monte Carlo casino in total, there are 36 thousand packs of cards.
  • Many players have adhered to some rituals here, some of which are quite bizarre. For example, Arthur Rothschild, if he was lucky and won, then after that he did not get up from the gambling table for another hour, always betting on 17 and 0. Thus, he tried his luck and then left the casino. The prince of Nepal, being a gambling man, played only five days a year, and this restraint was explained by religious motives. But one of the richest American entrepreneurs of the nineteenth century, Cornelius Vanderbilt, did not start the game until the whole family sat down at the table. After that, he laid out 40 thousand francs in the shape of a cross and began the pursuit of luck. Farouk I, king of Egypt and Sudan in 1936-1952, was known not only as an avid player but also as a collector: he collected all the tokens.
  • And the fate of many players did not just smile - it literally embraced them in its arms. Relatively recently, in 2015, the record was broken the most stunning gains. A citizen of Italy, who remained unknown, took with him from the famous casino 1 million 920 thousand dollars. Do not exaggerate, if we say that the Cote d'Azur in its entire history has not yet seen anyone pick such a big sum.
  • In 2013, Tom Fabius, the son of the then French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, played in the Monte Carlo casino, who had a debt of 700 thousand euros. It is not known how and when the scion of a high-ranking official would repay this amount if the casino management did not forgive him such an impressive debt.
