After more than a decade of legislative preparation and repeated anticipation, Jamaica has issued its first casino operator's licence, clearing the way for casino gaming to become a reality at the Princess Grand Jamaica Resort in Green Island, Hanover.

The Casino Gaming Commission (CGC) announced today that it has granted the country's inaugural casino gaming operator's licence to Adamas Grand Casino Limited, marking what officials describe as a historic milestone in the development of Jamaica's regulated casino gaming industry.

The casino will operate at the Princess Grand Jamaica Resort under a management agreement with Grupo Orenes, a Spanish gaming and hospitality company with established casino operations in Spain, Mexico and Andorra.
