In 1905, the Cannes city council granted the concession of a new establishment on April 5, 1905 to Henry Ruhl. The operating company of Casinos and Hotels Henri Ruhl & Cie therefore became the owner of the Municipal Casino of Cannes in 1911, following its construction in 1907.

In 1919, the Société Fermière du Casino Municipal de Cannes was created with Eugène Cornuché at its head. François André, Lucien Barrière's uncle, ran the establishment until 1962, Lucien Barrière providing management until the 1980s.

The casino was destroyed in 1979 to be replaced by the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes.
