Jackpot Fever in Monaco: How Many Millions is Casino Café de Paris Paying Out
Monaco’s Casino Café de Paris is making headlines again, setting the bar high for jackpot payouts. In January 2025 alone, the casino saw over 17 million euros won on its slot machines, with nearly 2,000 lucky players walking away with substantial prizes. Among them, one particularly fortunate individual struck gold on January 30, pocketing an impressive 655,875 euros—one of the largest jackpots of the year.
Monaco remains the premier destination for those chasing life-changing prizes. This win on January 30 is the 3rd biggest win within in a year in the casinos of Monte-Carlo. Reportedly 1,207,750 euros were won on March 30, 2024, then 930,875 euros on July 28. The Casino Café de Paris has once again proven that fortune favours the bold—and with millions up for grabs every year, the next big winner could be just one spin away.

General aviation traffic was up by 2.5% at Nice Côte d’Azur airport, while it remained stable in Cannes and Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
CHPG makes Two Major Advancements in Cancer Care
Two major acquisitions in the Radiotherapy Department of the Princess Grace Hospital Centre were inaugurated on Monday 3 February, just one day before World Cancer Day. The acquisitions were made possible through a generous donation of €1,300,000 from Irvine Laidlaw.
The two innovations are: a surface radiotherapy system that increases the precision of exposure when treating patients; and equipment that can treat skin cancers which were previously inoperable due to patients’ medical restrictions. This equipment is now part of the Skin Tumour Centre.
