Monte Carlo Casino Review

Casino de Monte Carlo is well-known for offering the biggest table game selections in all Europe. It is home to the Grand Theatre de Monte Carlo and the classical ballet company Les Ballets de Monte Carlo.

The casino has been standing for over 150 years, making it a fine location for movies that require the feel of a Victorian-era backdrop. It has been used several times as a location for James Bond films including Never Say Never Again, GoldenEye, and CBS Climax’s Casino Royal episode. It was also used as a set for filming Ocean’s Twelve.

Atrium

In 1878, architects Charles Garnier and Dutrou were given a huge project; in keeping with Marie Blanc’s wishes, and in a record time of just seven months, they were to build an opera house and a new casino in Monte-Carlo. They did it and the dazzling inauguration ceremony was attended by the celebrities of the epoch. Dutrou was in charge of the Atrium; he created a magnificent vestibule featuring columns supporting a gallery with balustrades. Two huge panels signed Jundt were later to complete the gallery’s decor thus creating a perfectly harmonious ensemble. As soon as visitors enter the Casino, they see a brightly-lit room that houses 90 slot machines… all as entertaining as they are sophisticated. These include the famous ‘Luxor Palace’ progressive machine.

Salon de l’Europe

Historically, this is the first gaming room opened in Monte-Carlo. Reconstructed at the end of the 19th century by Henri Schmit, the Salon de l’Europe replaced the old Salle Mauresque dreamt up in 1878 by Charles Garnier. Still intact are its frescos inspired by the four seasons and the beautiful countryside surrounding Monaco, its sculptures and allegorical paintings, its early 20th-century carpet, and the eight monumental chandeliers made of pure bohemian crystal, each weighing more than 150 kilos.

Salle Blanche

Such was the success of the gaming activities, the Salle Blanche – originally intended to be used as a conversation room when it was built in 1903 – also became a gaming room. This was the year when Camille Blanc announced: “never has the Casino received so many visitors during the winter season”. The Salle Blanche’s decor was as original as it was surprising… in “The Florentine Graces” – a picture painted by Gervais – one recognises Cléo de Mérode, Liane de Pougy and La Belle Otéro, the very famous courtesans of that time, who gambled here regularly. The room was renovated in 1991 and, since then, has been home to the slot machines.

Salles Touzet

There are two rooms and their decor blends into a delicate harmony emphasising the precious woods and large bucolic paintings. Opened in 1890 – the year in which the magic of electricity lit the Monegasque gaming rooms for the first time – the rooms designed by architect Jules Touzet were not completely decorated when the players took possession of them. A few sculptural improvements later – in 1891 to be exact – the very fine rooms were completed. Although they were renovated in 1988, their very spirit remained unchanged.

Salle Medecin

The Salle Médecin makes up the east wing of the Casino, via the restaurant “Les Privés” built on its terrace and whose large picture windows afford splendid views of the Cap-Martin. The Salle Médecin, named after Monegasque architect François Médecin, is also known as the Salle Empire because of the mahogany engraved with gold and the wall hangings. Inaugurated in 1910 – the year Massenet’s “Don Quixote” was created in Monaco – this room was home to a private gaming circle that ensured total privacy for the big players. Nowadays, three adjoining “Super Privé” small but luxurious gaming rooms provide much sought-after privacy.

Gaming options

Monte Carlo Casino’s table game rooms are separated into 4 areas namely Salon Europe, Salons Privés, Salle des Amériques, and Les Supers Privés. All table game rooms are open from 2 PM onward.
