Hi all,
I am looking for the CURRENT chips and mainly the jetons used in Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco. There are a few photos on the website but they are very hard to see.

I just ordered 2 Jeux Americains chips (pictured below) which based off of the translation, I assume they are American style chips for American style games.

It seems for poker they use jetons and plaques- (photo of what I think is current below, but I would like to see a close up of the actual cheque)

I know there are many variations of obsolete chips, jetons, and plaques- as well as the famous home chips called "Monte Carlos"- But I want to see in high resolution what it looks like these days :)

Just wondering what games you were playing- and by "chips" you mean the "jeux americanis"?
Yes. There was a Sun casino in my hotel with those chips. I didnt actually play as the casino was dead, I just asked them to sell me chips when I saw someone at a table. They didn't have an issue with it but definitely thought I was wierd.

Haha I feel like in NA our dealers think that- but couldn't care less... Over there- I can think they were like "wait somone dosn't want to lose all there money- they just want chips???" hahaha
 
I just saw this thread, sorry for late reply but I think it could be useful

I have visited Monte-Carlo several times.
They have 3 casinos: Casino de Monte-Carlo (the historical one, built in XIX century, very very classy ), Sun Casino, Café de Paris casino (much more commercial and "american style").
Two kind of tokens are currently used
1) chips "Monte-Carlo Jeux americains", from 1 to 2.500 euro, used for american games such blackjack, craps, american roulette.
2) jetons and plaques "Societé des Bains de Mer - Monaco" , from 1 up to 200.000 euro face value, used for french games: baccarat / punto-banco, trent-et-quarante, french roulette.
Anyway, you can use both series at whatever table you want.
I.E.: I placed a 5 euro bet at french roulette using a "jeux americans" chip, I was paid with a 5 euro jeton

I have following chips and jetons in my collection

In monaco they have 4casinos and they use the same chips (b&g) if i remember well.
Unfortunately there s only 1 Casino where there are poker games going on.

I played black jack in Monte Carlo when travelling for my 20th anniversary. I loved the 25 chip so much I kept a couple of them. Such a cool chip. I've seen them from time to time on eBay.

When visiting my daughter in France this past summer, we took a short trip to Monaco for a couple of days. Would recommend to visit. You can pay for a tour of the casino in the morning before the casino actually opens, so me and my daughter did that. The casino was amazing! I came back to play a few hands after lunch. They only had 4-5 tables opened at that time and the 25 was the lowest chip I saw. I think anything 100 euros are higher were Jeton's. You can check the chip guide for pictures of other denoms. Good luck!

Here is what I brought home:

This was my small buy-in:

This was in a display case. I was thinking of buying a few plaques but I recall seeing a bunch of old Jetons and Plaques on eBay for a lot cheaper. I think these are the old denoms before the switchover to the Euro.
