The four plaques shown are from my collection (all are printed on one side only). I have always believed these to be "fakes", meaning that they were never intended for casino gambling. Now look at lots #103 and #104 from the CC & GTCC 2007 auction catalog. Those plaques are described as "Est. Value: $100 From: early 1900’s This is a very old and LARGE plaque from Monte Carlo."

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Real or fake? Are the plaques shown in this posting copies of plaques that were really used for casino gambling in Monte Carlo?
