Monte-Carlo SBM Awarded Best Overall Casino 2026
Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer was honored with the 'Best Overall Casino' award at the European Casino Awards ceremony, hosted by the European Casino Association on January 19 in Barcelona. This award recognizes the overall excellence of the Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Casino Café de Paris based on various operational criteria.
Prestigious Recognition for Monte-Carlo's Casinos
The group received the highest honor at the European Casino Awards for its two casinos in the Principality. The 'Best Overall Casino' award acknowledges overall excellence based on several criteria: the quality and variety of games offered, user experience, customer service, and player security. These criteria have been upheld by both establishments since the founding of the Casino de Monte-Carlo in 1863. The Casino Café de Paris, established in 2016, boasts the largest array of slot machines on the French Riviera. A renovation of this facility is scheduled for spring 2027.
A Year of Notable Events at the Casino Café de Paris
The year 2025 was marked by several events at the Casino Café de Paris: the introduction of Phoenix Link slot machines from Aristocrat Gaming at the start of the year, the launch of a King Kong experience in June co-organized with Light and Wonder, and a special evening in September featuring entertainment and travel-themed games. The Casino de Monte-Carlo opened its Monte-Carlo Cigar Club in May. The My Monte-Carlo loyalty program saw an 89% increase in new players in 2025. The group's casinos regularly stand out in the industry: the Casino de Monte-Carlo was awarded the 'Green Globe' in 2025, recognizing its initiatives in sustainable development and responsible gaming.
