Casino: Casino de Monte-Carlo
The Principality of Monaco is a sovereign city-state on the Mediterranean coast of France. It has a total area of just 0.78 square miles. The principality has increased its size not by conquest or annexation but by land reclamation – building extensions into the sea. Such reclamation has increased the land area by 20%.
The most populous area of Monaco (itself the most densely populated country in the world) is Monte Carlo, or 'Mount Charles', which is named for Charles III who ruled Monaco in the mid-19th century. The name refers to that piece of the Alps that extends right to the water at Monaco.
In 1191, Monaco was established as a colony of Genoa. It first came under control of the Italian House of Grimaldi in 1297, but they had to fight for centuries thereafter to retain/regain control. By the middle of the 19th century, many of the inhabitants objected to being taxed by the Grimaldis and declared the independence of their towns. That issue was resolved by Monaco ceding those portions of their territory to France in return for payment. Unfortunately, they ceded much of their tax base, causing continuing financial difficulties.
At that point, a very clever Princess Caroline came up with the idea of a casino to generate revenue and taxes, and after some false starts it saved them from bankruptcy.
Just as was the case with yesterday's casino, the MOGH catalog includes a clumsily-worded history of this venture. I don't know where they come up with this stuff.

Prince Charles III (1818-1889) in 1856 allowed the opening of a casino. After a first unsuccessful installation in 1862, the casino moved in 1863 to a modest house in the hill, being called François Blanc to organize the gambling. He founded SBM (Societé des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Étrangers du Monaco), becoming the director and dealer of SBM in association with the Prince of Monaco. The new Casino de Monte Carlo was opened in July 1865. The casino contribute to the prosperity of this new resort, and ensured quick fortune to François Blanc and Prince Charles III. In 1878, Mary White, Blanc´s widow, asked the famous architect Charles Garnier to build the Opera the Monte Carlo and a new casino in baroque style, richly decorated. In 1904 opened the casino International Sporting Club. In 1975 opened a new casino associated to Loews. SBM owns today five casinos: Casino de Monte Carlo, Casino Café de Paris, Sun Casino, Monte Carlo Bay Casino (only slots) and The Gaming Area of La Rascasse (only slots).

I visited not just the Casino de Monte-Carlo but also that Casino Café de Paris, which is right next door. In spite of what it suggests in that paragraph above and in some other on-line resources, I could find no table games at all in that place.
When my wife and I visited Monaco as the second stop on our cruise last fall, we walked around much of the city – far too much, to hear my wife tell it. She still hasn't forgiven me for not hiring a taxi to take us around. We visited the palace courtyard, watched the changing of the guard (performed much less precisely than at Buckingham Palace), and then walked down one large hill and up another.
If you recall the photo of the Noordam

at the port in Monaco, which I included near the bottom of my post with my chip from that ship, think of it this way: we walked from the ship up to the point from which I took that photo then down and across to the opposite side of the harbor and up to the casino. From there, we walked back down to the water-level street, and I earned some minor forgiveness by buying us passage on a water taxi to take us across the harbor to our ship.
I was very disappointed in the Casino de Monte-Carlo. I had read that it had several gaming salons, though when they finally opened the doors at 2 p.m., we could only see one. There, in spite of it being a nice size room, they only opened three tables, two with blackjack and one for roulette, even though perhaps a few hundred people had entered the casino. The rest of their tables were idle and unstaffed. All of the employees seemed arrogant to the point of being totally rude to the patrons.
That salon was called the American salon, perhaps because there was American (maybe -- I didn't look that closely) roulette offered there and an unstaffed craps table. Ordinarily, there is a fee charged to enter that salon, but since they were undergoing some kind of renovations, they did not charge an entrance fee for the construction zone.
I understood that there was another 'European' salon to which admission could be gained by paying a fee — normally an additional fee – but no one was willing to say what games were offered there, how many tables were open, or what gaming limits were required. I might be willing to gamble a bit, but I am rather reluctant to buy a pig in a poke, so I did not pay to check out the other salon. I could just imagine paying a fee to see a bunch more unstaffed tables and arrogant employees.
Last week, I checked the casino's web site and found an interactive tour of the facility. The area that I did enter was called the European salon on that web tour, and the table layout is quite different from what I saw there. I can't explain that unless it is related to the renovation that they were performing last fall, and that wouldn't really explain the name change. This morning, I checked out the web site again, and apparently there is renovation going on there, too. The virtual tour is different, or maybe I just couldn't find the one I saw last week. This time I found a place where it says the American salon is slots only and confirms that the room I was in last fall is called the 'Salle Europe.' Maybe, perhaps even hopefully, what I saw six months ago was not representative of what the casino really is like in normal times.
At the blackjack table where I watched, people were playing two or three-deep, with standing players placing wagers behind those of the seated players and relying upon the decisions that the seated players made. And I couldn't even get close enough to the table to place a wager behind!
Eventually, there was an opening that allowed me to get closer, and to my complete surprise the seated player stood up and left, too, giving me the chance to grab the chair. By that time, I only had a few minutes to play before having to head back to the ship. The table minimum was €10, and the smallest chips in play were €5, so that is what I have as a souvenir. In my short session, I managed to win €50.
The souvenir shown below is a white injection molded (I think) chip and has three triple 'edge inserts' in green and very dark blue (maybe black), plus three logos that I do not recognize. The center insert is a silver coin with a tiled pattern. It is marked with 'jeux Am
