Gambling in Jamaica Vs. Las Vegas
Unfortunately, much of the casino games you will find in Vegas you won’t find in Jamaica. There are many prohibitions surrounding gambling in Jamaica and so this limits the type of games available.
Live table games like blackjack (aka ’21’), red dog, big six and Keno are banned. So if you want to have a good gambling experience in Jamaica you will have to make the most of what is allowed. This includes mostly slot machines. However, automated versions of table games are allowed such as blackjack, horse racing and roulette machines.
Finding the Best Gaming Lounge
Jamaica has issues with illegal gambling as well as poor service in many areas. Usually, to guarantee safety, persons rely on resort casinos. This solves the issue of gaming legally. However, resort casinos and lounges are very poor in terms of top-notch casino services and game selection.
