The first casino was opened in Monaco on December 14, 1856, and was given the name of Villa Bellevue. Its location at La Condamine was only supposed to be a temporary one, though. At this time, Monaco was very poorly connected to the nearest French town of Nice as well as the rest of Europe. Thus, it seemed unlikely that a casino resort of this nature would succeed. That came to fruition with fewer visitors than originally anticipated walking through the doors. Considered a financial failure, Aubert and Langlois ceded their rights to the casino to Frossard de Lilbonne. He then passed it on to Pierre August Daval in 1857.
All Blacks: Casino gamblers will know the significance of Aug. 18, 1913, when black came up on a roulette wheel 25 consecutive times in the Casino de Monte Carlo. The run attracted a huge crowd, and punters were torn. Would black keep coming up (bet the farm on black), or will the streak end (bet my diamond necklace on red)? But there's no magic going on here, since that little ball has no memory.
It was in 1854 that Florestan’s son, the future Prince Charles III of Monaco assembled a group of Frenchmen. They devised a development plan and wrote a prospectus to bring in the 4 million francs necessary to construct a spa, English-style villas and a gambling casino based on the Bad Homburg establishment in Germany. Members of the team included writer Albert Aubert and businessman Napoleon Langlois. They were granted a concession of 30 years, in which time they were tasked with operating a bathing establishment and gaming tables.

Princess Caroline of Monaco was the instigator of Casino de Monte Carlo, as the wise and business-minded wife of Prince Florestan. If a casino could be constructed, she believed the revenue from it would save the House of Grimaldi from going bankrupt. The towns of Menton and Roquebrune had broken away from Monaco in 1848 and refused to pay taxes on olive oil and fruit imposed by the principality, severely reducing its income.
The casino had actually started making a profit in 1859, but Daval wasn’t up to the task of operating it, lacking the capability to transform the casino into the vast establishment imagined by Princess Caroline. So, she dispatched her private secretary to Germany, with the hope of recruiting François Blanc. A French entrepreneur and operator of the Bad Homburg, he initially declined the offer, but was eventually persuaded by the princess. Thus, in 1863, François Blanc took over the running of Monaco’s casino business.
If you just want to gamble for fun, to be able to say for the rest of your life that you’ve played at Monte Carlo Casino, prepare a €5 banknote. This is the minimum amount accepted by casino’s gambling machines. All you have to do is put the money in the chosen slot machine and get carried away by the emotions. If you win something, you can withdraw the money immediately, on the spot.
The principality raised money for development – including the construction of the casino – by selling 80% of its area to France. The areas of today’s villages of and were given over to France in return for 4 million francs and the promise that France would build a road and rail-line from to Monaco. Monte Carlo Casino so quickly began to bring the principality profits that the prince abolished the taxes paid by his subjects.

Cette restriction n’empêche cependant pas les Monégasques de pouvoir jouer dans les casinos des pays voisins, notamment dans les casinos français.Cette interdiction a en partie permis de lutter contre l’appauvrissement de Monaco.

Monaco’s casino was founded in the middle of the 19th century. Earlier, the principality was a poor agricultural country ruled by Prince Charles III. The idea of building a casino fell to his mother; it was she who brought Francois Blanc to Monaco, a man who successfully ran other European casinos. Blanc founded a company called Societe des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Etrangers that still manages the casino and other important places in the principality.
