Casinos are fascinating places to be. Even if you don't play, it's grand to visit and listen to the shouts and laughter of the players at the table games, hear the sounds of the slot machines, and feel the electricity in the air under the glittering lights.
Players consistently rate Puerto Rico as the most enjoyable gaming destination in the Caribbean. Casinos are regulated carefully by the government and are only permitted in hotels. That means beautiful - and secure - locations, plenty of good food, delicious drinks, and wonderful entertainment, either in the casino or right next door.
Almost a score of hotel and resort casinos are currently in operation, from Old San Juan, Condado, and Isla Verde in the metro area to Dorado, Fajardo, Humacao, Ponce, and Mayagüez out on the island.
In addition to the classic games described in this section, such as Baccarat, Roulette, Blackjack and Craps, many casinos offer Three Way Blackjack, Big Six Wheels and Pai Gow Poker, among other games. Just ask at the casino of your choice!
All casinos feature state-of-the art slot machine technology, most are open until 4:00 AM or 6:00 AM, and a few are open 24 hours a day. You don't need to be a hotel guest to play; indeed, many locals and visitors make a day or evening of hopping from casino to casino. There was a time when you needed a jacket to enter, but today dress is casual during the day, and elegantly casual during the evenings - meaning no cut-offs, t-shirts or shorts.
There are plenty of beautiful places to try your luck in Puerto Rico. You're sure to find just the right one for you!
