If you have been to Monte Carlo and you haven’t been to a casino, are you sure you’ve really been to Monte Carlo? And the best place to visit a casino in Monte Carlo is the Monte-Carlo Societe des Bains de Mer. Located on Monte Carlo Square, the huge entertainment complex is a gamblers’ paradise. There you can find gambling spaces to suit all tastes.
The entertainment complex is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. It opened in 1868, and in 1897 it settled in a majestic atrium with a Moorish-style architecture. For almost a century this gambling house remained unchanged, except for some minor renovations, and only in 1988 was it extensively renovated and re-equipped.
Nowadays the Casino Cafe de Paris Monte-Carlo has about 13,000 square meters of floor space and hosts about half a thousand slot machines, both classic slots and the most modern ones. There is nowhere else in the Principality of Monaco with such a variety of slot machines. There is also a full range of table games and card games.
For night-time gamblers, there are four hotels in the atrium, so you can choose a room according to your options and preferences, ranging from small rooms equipped with everything you need to stay in to luxurious suites. The hotel overlooks the cityscape, the Mediterranean coastline and the Grand Prix circuit where Formula 1 races are held.
The casino is open 24 hours a day and is open to anyone aged 18 years and over. If the visitor is young, security may ask to see an ID card to ensure that the age limit is met.
The Cafe de Paris Casino is not only renowned for its huge range of gambling options, but also for its substantial jackpots. You can win up to a million euros, that’s the maximum jackpot amount. You can also hit the Split Aces jackpot by placing a blackjack bet. A lucky player will win a prize of €5,000 or more. However, the casino also has offers for less wealthy gamers. The minimum bet at the establishment is €1.
Worthy of attention is the casino’s bonus program. It provides four levels of privileges depending on the player’s loyalty: Membre, Silver, Gold and Platinum. As part of the loyalty programme, players receive bonus points, discounts, gifts and surprises, and free service.
It is impossible to imagine the Principality of Monaco without a casino, but this small state also has other attributes of tourist attraction. It is home to many events, leisure and health facilities, clubs, restaurants and bars. Monaco also boasts beautiful Mediterranean nature, a clean sea, beaches and a multitude of resort activities.
Monaco and the Cafe de Paris in particular are a popular destination for junket tours. Such tours are particularly popular with high rollers – professional high stakes gamers. By joining a junket tour, the high roller agrees to play for at least the agreed amount of time and bet at least the agreed amount. The tour organiser takes care of all the hassle of travelling, flying and staying on the trip. The organiser’s benefit is that the casino shares a percentage of the high roller’s bets with him.
