Monopoly game and Café Rotonde: the Casino de Monte-Carlo reinvents itself

A giant game board, a few cleverly arranged counters, houses and hotels, a wad of banknotes falling from the sky... The famous board game Monopoly is making its debut in the Atrium du Casino de Monte-Carlo, under the gaze of an impressive three-metre-high Mr Monopoly. Until 17 May 2026, players and visitors are invited to discover this brand new decoration. But the magic doesn't stop there: following the success of the launch of the exclusive edition of the Monopoly Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer game last December, players are now invited to a preview of the European launch of the new Monopoly Big Board Bucks by Aristocrat Gaming slot machines, this Friday 17 April at 7.30pm. The event will take place at the Casino de Monte-Carlo, in the Renaissance Room, for a special evening in the presence of Mr Monopoly himself. Eight slot machines will be unveiled, four of which will join the Casino Café de Paris on 20 April, which also has a whole host of surprises in store for its players. Until 17 May, all members of the MyMonteCarlo programme can try their luck to win more than 8,000 prizes, totalling €100,000. The thrill of the game continues on social networks, from 20 April, with "L'énigme de Monsieur Monopoly", to be found on the Instagram account @casinocafédeparis. Three lucky winners will be drawn from the correct answers to win exclusive prizes.
