Gaming in The Bahamas
Official Site of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism

Gambling here is big-time. Places like Crystal Palace and the Princess Casino have almost a thousand slot machines and a dizzying number of blackjack, baccarat, craps, roulette, stud poker, and big six tables.

You can play the slot machines 24 hours a day for less than a dollar, or wait until 10 p.m. for the gambling tables to take their first bids; that's when the sharks come out to play. Minors are allowed on the premises, but just to watch, as the minimum gambling age in The Bahamas is 18. Jackets are required in the evenings for men, if only for the sake of putting on a good show. You won't find any Bahamians here, though: gambling is illegal to residents of The Bahamas.
