Crystal Palace Casino & Activities

Games & Jubilation

The Casino tops the long list of pleasures at the he sprawling Crystal Palace Marriott and visitors from all over the world come to play at the Crystal Palace Casino. The royally-appointed casino spreads over 35,000 square feet. It offers 665 slot machines, ranging from five cents to one hundred dollars, one of the few slot-tracking system in the Caribbean. The glamour of Large and Mini Baccarat, the swift suspense of Blackjack, the hypnotic thrill of Roulette, plus Craps, Caribbean Stud, Face-up 21, and Big Six provide thrills and excitement for all gaming appetites. Those proficient in the art can avail themselves of the special VIP areas, while first-time casino goers can take advantage of complimentary lessons that will soon have them moving comfortably amidst the seasoned players. The casino is open every night and all weekend long, allowing numerous opportunities to savor the games' many moods individually, or all together in one exciting evening.

The Sports Book, a recently-added house special, has made the Crystal Palace Casino the most comprehensive sports betting facility in the Caribbean. Handsomely paneled in rich mahogany and carpeted in tartan red, it perfectly frames the main attractions: eight 35-inch televisions and one giant 70-inch TV. It features a brightly-lit LED board providing statistics, spreads and complete information on events from football, baseball and basketball to golf and hockey. The arena setting makes each of the 90 seats the best one in the house, while wagering on a range of major athletic events around the world. It is open daily and accepts bets from $5 to $5,000. Also at the Crystal Palace Casino, famished sports fans can catch the big game of the day on ten 31-inch TV sets, while admiring the sporty decor, autographed memorabilia from sports heroes, and the fabulous ocean view at Phil's Deli, the first of its kind in The Bahamas.

Another thrill at the Palace is its 800-seat Rain Forest Theater, featuring an energetic Caribbean style revue: "Caribe"
