The Caribbean islands have varying laws on gambling and bingo.  There are fifteen islands that have legalized gambling and more than one hundred casinos.  The island of Aruba is one of them. The island has three cities with twelve casinos.  Many of the casinos are part of resort hotel complexes, since the island is a major tourist destination.  Casinos on the island vary in terms of their hours, usually noon to dawn.  Some are open round the clock.  Others have specific hours.  Gambling is transacted in terms of U.S. dollars and a slot game visitor must be at least eighteen years of age. 

Aruba’s casinos are Las Vegas style with a complete selection of games.  There is Caribbean Stud Poker since the game was invented in Aruba and is one of their specialties.  The player will also find blackjack, craps, baccarat, poker and roulette in addition to slots and other electronic games. The slots are known to be tight.  They don’t payoff as they do in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.  The casinos of Aruba are famous with world gamblers.  Oranjestad, the capital, has six casinos, all in resort hotels. The Alhambra Casino has a nearby all night shopping bazaar that the player can visit. The island’s largest casino is located in Palm Beach and is at the Casablanca Casino – Wyndham Aruba Beach Resort & Casino.

It features over seven hundred gaming machines and fifty two gaming tables.  Some of the larger casinos and bingo hotels have live entertainment. No visit to Aruba is complete without sampling the casinos and roulette.
