The 80th edition of the world-famous Monaco Grand Prix takes place on May 28, so PokerNews takes a look at some of the awesome free attractions visitors can enjoy before or after the race.

Are you looking for the top 5 best free things to do in Monaco? Well, we’ve got you covered! It’s one of the top poker destinations in the world, but you don’t need to be super rich (although it might help) to have a good time on the French Riviera. Here are the top free things to do in Monaco.

1. Visit Monte-Carlo Casino

Given that this is PokerNews, where better to start if you’re looking for free things to do in Monaco than a casino? But not just any casino, the Monte-Carlo Casino no less.

What is the Monte-Carlo Casino and why Visit?

Sure, the Bellagio, Las Vegas is pretty special, and the Venetian in Macau is impressive, but there’s something truly unique about Monaco’s oldest casino. Opened in 1865, to this day it still carries the charm of an old-fashioned establishment. But don’t be mistaken, this building is far from old and rundown. Its high golden ceilings and glistening chandeliers, plus its location on the famous Place du Casino (Casino Square) give it a look and feel more like a palace than a casino.

Though not strictly free to visit if you want to enter and play a few hands on the tables (the minimum bet for most games is surprisingly just €5), experiencing the atmosphere and seeing the casino’s beauty from the outside is still worth the trip. What’s more, for any car lovers out there, you’ll do well to not spot one or two supercars parked outside.

If poker is more your thing (and let’s face it, you’re on PokerNews so it should at least be on your radar) why not visit during the prestigious Monaco leg of the EPT? Not only will you see a few recognisable faces, but you’ll feel the buzz of one of the biggest annual poker tournaments in the calendar – with first place this year winning €750,000.

2. Visit Larvotto Beach

Everyone loves a trip to the beach, and the Côte d’Azur is home to some of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe. Monaco isn’t synonymous with its beaches, but there are options if you’re looking to build a sandcastle or two.

What is Larvotto Beach and why Visit it?

Due to its miniature size, Monaco has very few beaches and some are even private and not accessible to the public. What’s more, with all its supercars, yachts and casinos, people tend to overlook heading to the beach when in Moncao. However, Larvotto Beach, located to the north of the principality, is a little gem of a spot that will set you back nothing apart from the cost of your beach towel and shorts.

It’s not the largest beach by any means, so if you’re there at the height of the season you might be struggling for space. But Larvotto Beach is still well worth a visit, with its turquoise waters and soft sand.

3. Visit Fairmont Hairpin Curve

This is one for the F1 fans. Monaco is known for glitz, glamour and, to us at least, a bit of poker as well. But if there’s one sporting event other than the EPT that Monaco is renowned for, it’s the most captivating Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season.

What is the Fairmont Hairpin Curve and why Visit it?

Fairmont Hairpin Curve is perhaps one of the most recognisable corners in Formula 1. Its steep, sharp bend is a nightmare for the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen to navigate, but when it’s not race week you can cruise down a legitimate part of an existing F1 track with a lot more ease.

And why stop there? Whether you drive a Ferarri or a Fiat, you can drive the entire Monaco Grand Prix circuit – although we’d recommend doing so at a time when F1 isn’t in town as the areas become restricted in the lead-up.

If you do find yourself on the French Riviera on grand prix day, you can still get involved. While the majority of places are restricted for general public access, you’ll still be able to walk around, soak up the atmosphere and see one of two cool things (for motor enthusiasts at least) free of charge.

There’s plenty more F1-related news in the poker sphere as well. Global Poker, for instance, put on a Turbo Series in May 2023 where players could win an exclusive Ferrari experience. Stay tuned to PokerNews for more potential F1 prizes from Global Poker. Also, a partnership between PokerStars and Red Bull has entered its second year, showing that there is plenty of crossover between poker and F1 – not to mention the array of drivers that play poker recreationally.

4. Visit Princess Grace Japanese Garden

If anyone has been to Monaco, one thing that is noticeable (apart from billionaires driving, wearing and living in things that cost 100x my annual salary) is how pristine the streets are. This is evident from the several gardens and parks as well, all being in showroom-like condition. One park in particular stands out – the Princess Grace Japanese Garden.

What is the Japanese Garden, and why Visit it?

Japan and Monaco have little in common, but the Japanese Garden adds a lovely bit of character to the principality. Despite being just 0.7 hectares in size, it has its own hill, waterfall and even a Zen garden for meditation. Located between the Monte-Carlo Casino and Larvotto Beach, the Japanese Garden offers a surreal, authentic oriental experience right in the middle of luxury skyscrapers, looming hills and a slice of the Côte d’Azur.

5. Visit Prince’s Palace of Monaco

Albert II is the current Prince of Monaco and has reigned since 2005. Like any prince, he lives in a palace most definitely fit for a king, and while it might not quite be on the levels of Buckingham Palace, his residential home is still impressive nonetheless.

What is the Prince’s Palace and why Visit it?

The Prince’s Palace has an illustrious history dating back to 1191. It’s the official residence of the sovereign prince of Monaco and was a fortress before being turned into a palace. You can go inside for a fee, but there’s plenty of value in visiting the outside.

Not only is it an experience in itself to see the palace from the outside, you’ll also catch the changing of the guards every day at 11:55. What’s more, the views out across the nearby harbour are absolutely stunning.

Epic Scenes as Formula 1 Car Drives Through Vegas Casino

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is right around the corner. Running from May 30-July 18, the 54th Annual WSOP will return to the Las Vegas Strip for the second year in a row for a total of 95 bracelets — the most at a live WSOP in history.

In addition, there will be 20 bracelets – up from 13 last year – awarded on WSOP.com in the merged network of New Jersey and Nevada, while the segregated markets of Pennsylvania and Michigan each awarding seven bracelets.

Online Bracelets

Popular WSOP Online Bracelet events are back, including every Sunday during the summer, with three special “Double Up Bracelet Days” on June 4, June 25, and July 9.

The schedule is highlighted by exciting events including the $500 Summer Saver, a $3,200 High Roller, and the signature $1,000 NLHE Online Championship.

New events also include a $300 Summer Kick-Off and a $5,300 High Roller Championship Event that will have the final table played live in Las Vegas slated during WSOP Online’s Championship Week.

Nevada/New Jersey Schedule

The WSOP held its first online bracelet event back in 2015, which is when Anthony “casedismised” Spinella topped a 905-entry field to win $197,743 and his first bracelet. The following year, Clayton “SLARKDUCK” Maguire bested a 1,247-entry field to win the only online bracelet event for $210,279.

Anthony Spinella Wins First-Ever WSOP.com Online Bracelet Event

In the years since, the number of online bracelet events has increased in the merged Nevada/New Jersey market, and in the summer of 2023 that includes 20 different events.

Remember, WSOP.com software allows players to compete in no-limit hold’em tournaments on either a computer (i.e. desktop or laptop) or mobile app (i.e. phone or tablet). However, in order to play in pot-limit Omaha (PLO) tournaments players can only do so on a computer (i.e. desktop or laptop).

Michigan/Pennsylvania Schedule

Back in 2021, the WSOP offered gold online bracelet events in the segregated Pennsylvania market. Among those to capture bracelets that inaugural year were Mark Herm, Shankar Pillai, and Andrew Porter, just to name a few.

In 2022, the WSOP expanded its online bracelet offering into Michigan with eight events. Among those to win bracelets in the state’s inaugural year were Brett Blackwood, Todd Estes, and Cade Lautenbacher.

A Look at All the 2022 WSOP Online Michigan Bracelet Winners

In 2023, WSOP.com will offer seven online bracelets each in their segregated markets in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The events and schedule are the same in both markets. While PokerNews will not be offering live updates on these events, we will offer a recap once a bracelet winner is determined.

On Sunday, June 25, Event #4: $500 Mystery Bounty will take place marking the first time an online gold bracelet will be awarded for the popular Mystery Bounty format.

Doyle Brunson and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) go way back. The biography of “Texas Dolly” contains the history of the WSOP within it.

Brunson was at the first WSOP ever and attended almost every WSOP since (outside of boycotting four years in the early 2000s). He won the sixth ever WSOP Main Event (one of two Main Event victories) and collected ten bracelets overall, tying for second most bracelets with Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey.

Days away from the 2023 WSOP, PokerNews looks back with the poker community at the ways in which Brunson stood astride the WSOP like a colossus.

The “Godfather of Poker,” Doyle Brunson has Passed Away at 89

Doyle At The First World Series Of Poker

Before the first WSOP in 1970, there was the Texas Gamblers Reunion in 1969. The Reunion was held in Reno at the Holiday Hotel and Casino. The initial idea was to create an exhibition table of the best poker players in the world who might pull in punters.

Brunson, being one of the most Texan of Texas Gamblers, was present, though the eventual winner of the event was Crandell Addington.

Benny Binion took note of the event and remembered the success of a similar 1949 exhibition game between Johnny Moss and Nick “the Greek” Dandalos.

In 1970, Binion did his own version of the Reunion, hosting a seven-player cash game at his casino the Horseshoe in Vegas.

Addington and Moss were invited to play. As were Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston, Sailor Roberts, Walter “Puggy” Pearson, and Carl Cannon. Brunson made up the seven.

After three days of poker, the players voted on who was the best. It was a seven-way draw. Everyone had voted for themselves.

After a new vote, in which players were not allowed to put their own name on their ballot, Johnny Moss took the crown at the inaugural World Series of Poker.

Bob Hooks: The Forgotten Texas Road Gambler

Ten Bracelets And A Standing O.

Doyle attended the 1971 WSOP, when the format first changed to a winner take all freeze-out. He had some good finishes in the following years. But it wasn’t until 1976 that he won his first brace of bracelets. One for the 1976 WSOP $5,000 Deuce to Seven Draw event—his first ever—and later that series he won the 1976 WSOP $10,000 Main Event.

Over the next 30-years Brunson won another eight bracelets including the 1977 WSOP $10,000 Main Event (one of only three back-to-back ME wins ever). Although the 80s were a dry spell for Brunson, he managed to win multiple events in the 70s, 90s, and 00s.

Doyle’s last bracelet came in the 2005 $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Short-Handed event.

Although he did not win another event after this, he did make a final table in the 2018 WSOP $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. Before this event, he tweeted that it might be his last tournament ever. It was a fitting choice, given that 2-7 Lowball was the game in which he won his first bracelet nearly 30 years prior.

When he was finally eliminated in sixth place, the television studio stood up to applaud him off into the sunset.

Doyle returned to the WSOP a handful of times after 2018, but that was his last final table at the WSOP.

Doyle Brunson’s Bracelet Complete List

Ten-Deuce: “The Texas Dolly”

One part of Doyle Brunson’s WSOP legend lives on after him in the random shuffle of the pack. Every time a player is dealt ten-deuce in the hole, they will think to themselves “Texas Dolly.”

Texas Dolly is an old nickname of Doyle’s. And the ten and the two were his hole cards both times he won his Main Event bracelets.

The first time was heads-up against Addington. The second time was against Milo Jacobson. Both times, Doyle made a full house out of an otherwise junky pair of cards.

At this year’s series, you’ll be able to work out who has “The Brunson” preflop. The tell will be a tip of the stetson when they first check the hole.

1. First you need to register for an account. This will require you to submit some personal information, while also complying with the age and other legal requirements.
2. Then, once registered, you will obviously want to make your first deposit and take advantage of the sweet welcome bonus that all the top USA online casinos offer.

Where to Play Online Casino Games in the US?

How can you find the best real money online casino for US players? This can be a difficult question to answer. After all, a good number of online casinos have stopped accepting real money players from the US since the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

Since then, the options available for US players have been fairly limited.

But even so, there is absolutely no reason to worry. Our team of experts works tirelessly to review the best online casinos for you. And to help you find the top online casinos in the USA, we also have some useful tips to make your choice.

Before making your pick, there are always some things which you need to keep an eye on. The best online casino offer deposit bonus, easy deposit and withdrawal methods, state-of-art security to protect personal information and also the best online games.

Most casinos also offer games other than slots, such as online blackjack, roulette and other table games, video poker, progressive jackpots and more.

That being said, it’s also worth remembering that not all online casinos let US gamers play for real money. Because of state regulations, only players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, West Virginia and Delaware are allowed to play at USA online casinos. And, of course, it’s always worth remembering that players must be at least 21 in order to gamble online legally.

The Best Online Casinos in New Jersey

The Garden State has had legal online gambling since 2013, and since this landmark decision, a number of the top online casino brands have made their casino games available to NJ residents. Big names like FanDuel Casino, PokerStars Casino, PartyCasino, bet365 Casino, and BetMGM Casino have all made a home in NJ, meaning that the choice for real money casino players is compelling.

We’ve gathered a number of guides all about online casino gaming in NJ, including where to find the best casino games and slots, who has the best casino mobile app, and where you expect to see the best offers and casino bonuses.

The Best Online Casinos in Pennsylvania

Just like their near neighbors in Jersey, PA residents have enjoyed online casino gambling since 2017, when it became legal for online casinos to operate in the Commonwealth. A number of the larger casino brands now have an online casino present in PA, including PokerStars Casino, FanDuel Casino, BetMGM Casino, and Unibet Casino.

We’ve crunched the numbers on the casinos that offer real money gambling in PA so that you can easily find the best online casino for you, as well as identify which have the best bonuses and offers available.

The Best Online Casinos in Michigan

Michigan is one of the newer states to allow real money casino games, but that doesn’t mean that casino brands in the US have been slow to provide gambling to MI players. You’ll find the usual brands showing in our listings for the Great Lakes States, including FanDuel Casino, PokerStars Casino, and BetMGM Casino.

The online offering you’ll see for MI-based online casinos mirrors what you can find in other real money states, and with our online casino guides, you can see the best bonuses and offers, and where to download the best iPhone and Android casino apps.

The Best Online Casinos in West Virginia

It might not be the first state to get mentioned when selecting a casino, but since the summer of 2020, West Virginia has been home to some of the best online casino brands in the US.

The Mountain State probably has less casinos to choose from overall, but you will still find some of the big names present, like FanDuel Casino, BetMGM Casino, and Borgata Casino. Read on to learn how to find the best online casinos in West Virginia, who has a great casino app, and how to take advantage of the best online casino bonuses.

Online Gambling in the United States

Gambling in the United States has always been a touchy subject. The Federal Wire Act of 1961 and the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 were significant hits to the activity in US territory.

When it comes to online gambling specifically, however, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 essentially prohibited players in the United States territory from playing at online gaming sites.

While the Federal Wire Act had already imposed some serious restrictions, the UIGEA was much more definitive. In response, many online casinos stopped accepting US-based players.

This hasn’t stopped online gambling from growing in popularity. With four states having already legalized the activity, the tendency is for others to follow suit and ease the restrictions. After all, online gambling has a proven record that could help boost the state’s economy.

US Online Casino Deposit Bonus

A good online casino bonus is one of the things every player has to keep an eye on. After all, a bonus is a huge difference-maker for both new and experienced players. Now, it’s a good thing that all the best USA online casinos offer a deposit bonus.

As the name implies, the bonus is available for users as soon as they make their first deposit. The welcome bonus offer will usually include some nice perks such as free games and match bonus.

Most casinos offer a free bonus on slots (i.e. free spins). Sometimes, these free spins are only available on specific games, while some casinos will let the player choose how to play their free bonus rounds.

The match bonus is the most common one on offer, especially to US players.

After making a deposit, the casino will then give you a percentage of that as a bonus for you to play with. Now, remember to read the terms and conditions.

A match bonus has a minimum wagering requirement, which means that you must bet that value a certain amount of times before being able to withdraw any winnings that originated from the bonus. It’s wise for you to pick an online casino that offers a smaller minimum wagering requirement.

Most casinos offer loyalty programs and other bonuses to regular players as well. So this is another important point to consider when making your choice.

If you want to play without having to make a deposit first, you will be happy to know that some casinos do offer a no deposit bonus as well. Users will be awarded free games or a small bonus without actually having to make a payment. If these are the bonuses you are after, have a look at our updated list with every online casino with a free signup bonus for real money in USA.

Deposits and Withdrawals at US Casino Sites

The best real money online casinos offer a wide range of options for players to deposit and withdrawal.

For US players, the most common options available are credit and debit cards, such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

Western Union is also a popular payment method offered by casinos – perhaps even more than e-wallet services like PayPal ad Skrill. Recently, cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin have also been growing in popularity. In response, many bitcoin casinos are also accepting cryptocurrency as a new payment method.

Withdrawals will require you to use the same payment method as the original deposit. The casino will also need some time to process your request. Always keep an eye on this, so you know when to expect the payment. Some methods may take longer to process your request.

Deposit and withdrawal require you to submit personal and sensitive information, which includes documents as well as credit and debit cards numbers.

Rest at ease, though, as the best and trusted online USA casinos are guaranteed to provide you with the best options in security and privacy protection, which makes playing at these websites extremely safe.

Best Online Casino Games in the US

Online Casinos in the United States offer many different games that can draw in a good number of players. The huge variety of titles on offer is a big positive, as it allows users to enjoy as many different options as possible at a single website.

Overall, the best online casinos offer a very similar experience to real, brick-and-mortar casinos. Not only do players get to enjoy the same games, but the top websites are also able to replicate what a real casino looks and feels like.

Naturally, slot machines are the most popular online US casino games.

Real money slots are very similar to regular slots, except that players can spin the reels from the comfort of their home. Video poker is another popular game. Table games, such as roulette, blackjack, and baccarat are also extremely popular.

You will find plenty of these titles at just about every online casino, with many different variations of each game.

You will also have the chance to play for progressive jackpots at some casinos. The possibility of winning a big prize in one go is obviously a major draw for some of these sites. With it all being said, the main point is: with so much variety on offer, online casinos will definitely have what you are looking for.

Online Safety at US Casinos

Whenever real money is involved, it will obviously raise many questions regarding the safety and security of playing at online casinos.

Users must submit personal information such as their full name, ID card number and other documents, which are necessary checks put in place to prevent financial frauds.

If you are play games for real money, then you also need to submit a credit or debit card number or some other kind of financial information. In other words, it’s perfectly normal for you to feel slightly concerned.

But there is no need to worry about it. If you follow the right steps mentioned earlier, finding a trusted online casino isn’t going to be difficult.

A reliable website complies to all the safety requirements, which includes offering the latest encryption technology available and preventing unauthorized access to the users’ personal information.

In other words, the best online US casinos follow all the necessary requirements to comply with the legal requirements. Which in turn makes these sites extremely safe and reliable for you to play and not worry about a thing

Fairness of the Games

Just like player safety, fair play at online casinos is also a very important topic. After all, in order to play for real money, you must know beforehand if the games offer a fair chance of winning.

If you are playing at a legal casino, then rest assured that you will be treated fairly and given a fair shot at the games.

Legal online casinos need to comply with strict regulations, which includes running thoroughly tested gaming software.

The game engines must offer a Random Number Generator, or RNG for short, that ensures fair play. All legal casinos will display their certificate issued by the respective gaming authority.

Casino Software

Trusted online casinos will provide their users with the best gaming software available.
