No licensed casinos operating in Jamaica, public warned

The Casino Gaming Commission (CGC) is warning the public that no licensed casino is currently operating in Jamaica and that live-dealer table games being offered for money at venues across the island are illegal.

The Commission says games such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat, whether offered in bars, lounges, clubs or private rooms, are being operated without a licence and outside the protection of the law.

It says the first licensed casino is not expected to begin operations until next year.
