What happened? I confess to only have been here tjhree times previously since 2014, but there used to be a smart dress code and that contributed to the whole Monaco/Casino Vibe. I have really enjoyed my previous trips. I came in March 2023 as part of a group of people to find there's no dress code and basically no care. Surrounded by jeans, trainers and duffle coats it could as well have just been any seafront arcade. Couple this with terrible draft drinks (we protested the coke was bad but the staff were uninterested) and a barmaid who served us that actively frowned, didn't engage or even say hello. Have to say, a truly disappointing visit.

It’s a nice casino and the staff are fine to deal with. The issue for me was playing on the roulette machines which seemed to weighted in the casinos favour that it couldn’t have been more obvious. The ball would often seemingly land on a number that I’d have covered and then would jump at the last second to the number next door. Never would see that at an actual table. Also I deliberately a couple times wouldn’t place a bet at all and surprise surprise, the ball would land on a number I would constantly cover in other spins. You could also see the a big screen where you could see which numbers were being bet on by everyone and the amount of times the ball would land on a number that had minimal or 0 chips on it was so obvious a sign of a casino not quite subtle enough to hide behind the ‘house always win’ saying. Those machines need serious looking at or scrapping altogether as they just rob people of money. A game of supposed luck is anything but here, it’s a game of how quick can they take your money and I’m surprised no one has caused damaged to these machines with how infuriating the shady nature of them are.

Being that the pair of us are aged between 55 & 60, we were somewhat surprised to be asked for ID., we’d only come to try their bingo session starting at 7, and it was now 6.40. We did return home and returned with ID, but by the time they’d checked out I’d, then waited to be served by the cashier/customer service staff who was chatting to 2 members of staff, it was now 7.03, and told we were too late, they stopped selling books at 7pm, 3 mins previous!! Not a very welcoming place, make sure your prepared what ever your age. Not sure we’ll return.
