The Casino de Monte-Carlo has inspired a number of books and films, including the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale (1953), and the Bond movies Never Say Never Again (1983) and GoldenEye (1995) were filmed at the casino.
Casino games are prohibited in Brazil. Poker, either land-based or online, is unregulated in Brazil as it is considered a game of skill and, therefore, falls outside of the scope of Decree-Law No.
