"Welcome ladies and gentlemen" is the traditional welcome address at the beginning of the annual Monte-Carlo Game at Hotel Leitnerbräu.
This event does not only attract some 50 gamblers from the Mondsee region, but also an increasing number of visitors.
The rules in brief:
In 2 rounds, the respective gambling tables purchase 32 cards (14 pair cards, 4 single cards) by auction. The money taken in is then devided into 30 equally high amounts and allocated to the cards again. 2 blanks make the game exciting!
During the French wars, the occupying soldiers introduced the game. It was named after the Monacan casino village of "Monte Carlo".
Each gambling table is a unit. In former times, a guild was allocated to each table. This very day, there is a bankers' and a lawyers' table.
Good luck - and enjoy!
