Aruba: Gaming

The Original Official Homepage of the Aruba Tourism Authority

Gaming is not only legal on the island, but there are eleven casinos from which to choose--some casual, some overwhelmingly glamorous. In addition to blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, baccarat, and hundreds of ringing slot machines, Aruba's casinos offer Caribbean Stud Poker, invented in 1988 in Aruba and currently skyrocketing in popularity all over the world. In Caribbean Stud Poker, as in blackjack, each player vies only with the dealer. Unlike blackjack, however, Caribbean Stud Poker offers players the thrill of a progressive jackpot that can reach into the hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars.

Gaming in Aruba generally runs from mid-day to just before dawn, although the Crystal Casino at Aruba Sonesta Resort & Casino is open twenty-four hours a day.
