If You’re Going to Gamble

Whether you have been to the Bahamas once or hundreds of times, gambling betting in the Bahamas is always fun and interesting. Whether you choose Freeport or Nassau, you'll have a great time.

Freeport, the closest of the islands to the United States provides casino fun. While the casinos in Freeport are much smaller than those on Grand Bahamas or at Cable Beach, they are just as much fun and the odds are just as great. You can walk away with some really big money.

The rest of the Bahaman Islands sports three large casinos. Two are located on New Providence, one at Cable beach and the other on Paradise Island. The other is located on Grand Bahamas in Lucaya.

Paradise Island on Grand Bahamas Island is a favorite. People come from all over the world to play big money at the Atlantis resort. This resort was once owned by Merv Griffin. It is a huge resort hotel casino that offers upscale and impressive service regardless of where you call home. In fact, you can get some great comps there as a high roller.

Whether you prefer Keno, Baccarat, craps, roulette, blackjack or any of the other games, you'll find the tables open and ready to provide you a wonderful gambling experience. Caribbean stud poker is another favorite in the islands. The dealers are friendly and very professional. You can choose tables with very high minimum bets or play lower minimum tables. There are also lots and lots of slot machine and video poker. The casinos are seldom so crowded that finding a seat at the table of your choice is never difficult.

If you wish, you can sail your yacht down to the islands and dock near the casinos. Many people enjoy staying on board their own vessel rather than staying in the hotels. Or, you can sail down and stay in the luxurious resort casinos.

Between winning big money, you'll want to see some of the great shows provided by the casinos, as well. As a high roller, you will probably be offered tickets by the casino if they are aware of your gambling habits. It is best, if you plan to play big, to contact a casino host when you arrive and let him or her know your gambling habits. This way, comps can be provided to make your gambling experience more enjoyable.

While in the Bahamas, you'll also want to make time to do at least some shopping. The straw market in Nassau is world renowned and a must-see while you are there. You can purchase jewelry and watches at unbelievably low prices. You'll also enjoy water sports while in the islands. The water is especially clear and blue.

However, most of your time may be spent playing the gaming tables. They are open late and everyone over the age of 18 is welcome to play. The drink servers will never allow your glass to run completely dry as long as you remember to tip them well. It's also nice to tip the dealer when you are gambling.

You'll find the casinos have a flavor all their own that is unique to the Bahamas. There are plenty of lights, excitement and glitz, yet the tropical feeling of the islands still comes through clearly and you'll never want to leave this little piece of paradise.
