The infamous Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco is a gambler's paradise... as long as you're not actually from Monaco.
Princess Caroline made it illegal for citizens of Monaco to gamble in the casino in the mid-1800s, insisting that the revenue generated come only from foreigners. The good news? Citizens don't have to pay income taxes since Monaco uses the casino money instead! 
Have you ever visited the Monte Carlo Casino?

Top fanWe were on an NCL cruise, and did the Monaco tour….walked in to the lobby of the casino….T-shirts and souvenirs available, and about 100 machines (mostly Bar-Crest) with TITO technology. Put in a 20 euro note, won a few euros, and we had to continue …
