Hello! This is a video review of Casino-de-Monte-Carlo, where I am ready to share my first gaming experience in Monaco.
Historically, the Grimaldi family of monarchs opened the first gambling house in 1865, which eventually became the Monte Carlo Casino. So welcome to the world's first casino!
Location
Casino Monte Carlo is located in the heart of Monaco, but you should know that Monaco itself is only 5.47 km long. So it's not difficult to be a heart) But renting a hotel there is difficult for my wallet, so I lived in a French village, and I got to Monaco by Uber for 40 euros, it took me 20 minutes.
Architecture
The casino building impresses with its luxury and you can feel the breath of history. Well, the aura of wealth is also very significant here, so shopping with Prado, Hermitage, and Louis Viton on Avenue Du Casino is an important part of the experience, where the cherry on the cake is the casino itself. The entrance to the casino is greeted by a statue of La Fortune made in a very sexy style. There are also 4-5 porters who would like to open the door of my golden Cadillac Escalade, but I reached on foot from the place where the taxi stopped.
Casino tickets
This is the first casino in the world where you have to pay to enter. I'm not kidding now, it's true. 10 euros per person and pass. Why is this 10 euros, not a deposit, no, it's just a payment. Here's the proof!
And this is what chips with denominations of 100 and 50 euros look like.
It is forbidden to take photos of guests, employees, yourself, and the design of the casino. So it's a secret that I filmed something there. Don't tell anyone.
Entertainment
The casino itself turned out to be chic, small, and rather empty. I walked along the tables with dealers and went to the very last hall with slot machines. Oh, yes, "Keep those reels spinning, watch the cash rolling in!", this is my secret!
But there were few players, alcohol is only paid for, and smoking is not allowed inside. I was generally surprised by all this because what I saw in Monaco was just the opposite of the Las Vegas casino.
EGT slots, the famous Book of Ra, and the very classic one-armed bandits.
Very sad, but the sounds in the slot machines are very muffled or turned off, there is no ring when you win. You can only top up with cash, but there is an ATM in the hall. You can also withdraw winnings only in the form of cash. All wins up to 1500 euros are not obligated with local tax.
That evening, I got more than 200 euros, and all the wins came to me from a new slot Thunder Drums. By the way, this was the only slot with free spin animation and at least some sounds included.
Conclusions
The target audience of the Monte Carlo casino is the rich, who will not play in the main hall, but rent a closed room with a deposit of 5,000 euros or more. Because of this, there were many top cars at the entrance, but the gaming hall was empty.
In 40 minutes, I got bored of the silence and went to the Buddha Bar.
I appreciate the experience I gained because I dreamed of visiting this casino mecca. Anyway, I prefer to get back to Los Vegas rather than to Monaco.
