Monaco is a gambling capital of Europe. The most famous casinos are in the city. They are decorated with pompous architecture and interesting games.

Monte-Carlo Casino is one of the most beautiful casinos in the world. Monegasque citizens are forbidden to visit the place, let alone gamble, but wealthy foreigners are always welcome here.

Casino de Monte-Carlo was created to save the aristocratic Grimaldi family from bankruptcy in 1863. Prince Charles III founded the casino and the management company Société des Bains de Mer, which still exists today. The casino earned so much money that the prospect of bankruptcy disappeared. In 1878 Monaco invited architect Charles Garnier to build new premises for the Casino.

The Casino de Monte Carlo offers European, American and English roulette, poker, blackjack, punto banco, craps and various slot machines. The casino offers an opera house, a club and two sophisticated restaurants. There is a mandatory dress code for visitors. Access to the general gaming rooms costs €10 and access to private rooms is double that. Separate gaming room for high stakes is available.

Café de Paris is a famous casino in Monaco. It generates a jackpot every 10 minutes. The casino is under renovation and will be completed in 2023. New features include the Brasserie, the rooftop restaurant Amazonico and a shopping arcade. The boutiques will open as early as 20 23 and the restaurants will follow a few weeks later. They will cover 14,000 square metres. There will also be a bar with a dance floor. Monaco festivities continue into the early hours of the morning. A bar and restaurants are also planned for the renovated building.

Sun Casino is popular with tourists because of its American flair and relaxed atmosphere. It offers more than 200 slot machines and table games, multiple shows, bars and restaurants, and televisions set up throughout the establishment. In 2023 Sun Casino will become a part of the already mentioned Café de Paris casino.
