In popular culture\n\n James Bond, a fictional British secret agent, is often associated with the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco and its casino were the locations for a number of James Bond movies, including Never Say Never Again and GoldenEye, as well as for the "Casino Royale" episode of CBS's Climax! television show.

Locals are banned from gambling due to moral reasons. Simply, the Princely Family did not want the Mongasque locals to gamble away their money. It is important to refer back to the fact that Monaco is an independent state, therefore Monaco gambling laws do not have to conform to the ones in France.
