Casinos in Monaco: 2026 guide
Monaco is famous for the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo — a historic symbol of luxury land-based gambling, opened back in the 19th century and run by the Société des Bains de Mer. The principality's casinos cater to wealthy guests and tourists, offering roulette, baccarat, blackjack and poker in an elegant setting. A distinctive feature: Monaco's own citizens are barred from entering the casino gaming rooms — only foreigners and tourists may play. Online casinos as a separate licensed industry are not developed in the principality, with the focus on the prestigious land-based segment. The currency is the euro; the wealthy clientele settle by cards and banking instruments. This material is informational: users should note the ban for local residents and the market's focus on elite land-based gambling.
