Legendary casinos
Over 150 years old, the Casino de Monte-Carlo, as we know it today, was designed by Charles Garnier. The same one who designed the Opéra Garnier in Paris. It once generated 95% of the Principality’s income.
The Casino also lives in popular culture. Movies James Bond Never Say Never Again and golden eyeas well as Fast and Furious 5among others, were all filmed in the Casino.
To everyone’s surprise, no Monegasque citizen can enter or play in the casino. The main family can also not enter because of a law passed in 1987, so that croupiers avoid seeing members of their family at the table and thus help them to win.
The Casino is about fortunes that can be created in a few minutes as evidenced by the biggest win in the history of the Casino which amounts to 1 million euros. But be careful, if the Casino can make you win big, it can also make you lose big. This is the case of a player in 2018 who managed to lose 3 million euros in just one hour.
Be aware, however, that if you pocket a tidy sum, you will not be able to cross the border with more than €10,000 on you. If necessary, the amount must be declared beforehand, so as not to take the risk of being accused of “undeclared transfer of sums”.
