The Caribbean has a multitude of terrific casinos, and the vast majority of them are full-service, large-scale gaming Meccas. Here are the top 10 casino hotels in Caribbean, with an emphasis in the capital of Caribbean gaming: Puerto Rico.

Atlantis — Bahamas

Simply put, this is really the gold standard for Caribbean casinos.

Hard Rock Punta Cana — Dominican Republic

This massive 45,000-square-foot casino is also notable for a great poker programme, with cash games every night at the Hard Rock Poker Room.

Resorts World Bimini — Bahamas

The newest (and smallest) casino on this list, Resorts World Bimini is a bright casino (it even has windows) with a very intimate vibe. And its small size makes you feel like you’re a high roller, even if you’re playing the penny slots.

Stellaris Casino — Aruba Marriott Resort

The biggest casino in Aruba, the Stellaris is also one of the region’s best.

Casino Metro — Sheraton San Juan

Located at the Shearton Puerto Rico Hotel, this is the largest casino in San Juan.

El San Juan Resort & Casino

This 13,000-square-foot casino is great looking, with more of a Monte Carlo-style feel than a Las Vegas one.

Casino Royale St Maarten

No, this isn’t the one where Bond played Le Chiffre, but it is the largest and best in St Maarten.

Royal Beach Casino — St Kitts Marriott

This casino is on the small side, but it’s one of the hot spots in St Kitts. And a tremendous place to watch a sporting event.

Casino del Mar — La Concha A Renaissance Resort — San Juan

The La Concha is one of the hottest hotel night spots in the area, and it’s no surprise that the casino is, too.

Treasure Bay Casino — Grand Lucayan, Grand Bahama

Las Vegas in Grand Bahama. The 35,000-square-foot casino has it all, with 400 slot machines and 30 gaming tables.
