Built on an unused part of the terrace, this small but magnificent and luxurious room was designed by the architect Mr Ballerio in 1957.
Completely transformed by André Levasseur in 1973, the room is lined in natural leather with mahogany wall-panelling. It was the precursor of the “Super-Privé”. Since 1910, the Salons Privés have been reserved for important clients who do not wish to be seen in the gaming rooms or prefer to gamble in all privacy. Most of the Casino’s visitors probably never set eyes on them. Here, the most staggering sums of money are set on the table. Here, everything is possible : impromptu installation of THE table chosen by the client, or preparation of a cheese soufflé in the restaurant at 8 a.m. after a long night of gambling.
Since December 15th, 1991, the Salons Privés have proposed Punto Banco, a spin-off of Chemin de Fer and Banque à Tout Va. The player’s interest in the game of Chemin de Fer lies in the possibility of playing all the calls, even if the player is the banker. Invented in America, initially imported into England, it gradually conquered the whole of Europe. In Monaco, it is played with 8 packs of 52 cards placed in the card-shoe.
A brand new Super-Privé room opened its doors in the Casino in 2001, bearing the name “Salon Super Privé Cabaret”. It brings to four the number of private rooms, together with the Super-Privé, Club Anglais and Salon Rouge. It is situated on the intermediate level of the Cabaret. White walls and gold-leaf motifs contrast with the novelty of the fuchsia and burgundy colors of the table coverings. The tables are themselves innovative, fitted with double table-tops providing greater comfort for the players. This room is intended for fans of English and European Roulette, Black-Jack and Punto Banco.
