Antilles Casinos

From small casinos scattered throughout the country to Sint Maarten’s Princess Port de Plaissances Hotel and Casino (the largest on the island), there is something for every gambler in Netherlands Antilles.

 In Netherlands Antilles, the legal gambling age (and drinking age) is 18. In 2007, the government began to crackdown on illegal gambling in this country, as gambling popularity and tourism was soaring. Gambling is not allowed in restaurants, and while most casinos once had loose policies about patron ages, they now check identification much more regularly. You cannot enter a casino in Netherlands Antilles unless you have your passport showing that you’re over 18.

Tourism represents 15% of Netherlands Antilles GDP, so the casino industry is important to the livelihood of many residents, especially in Sint Maarten. Sint Maarten is by far the most popular destination on the island for those wanting to gamble. In addition to the Princess Port de Plaissances Hotel and Casino, many of the country’s other casinos are located in Sint Maarten, although almost every town and port has casinos for tourists. Recent laws have also made it possible for residents to gamble online on Netherlands Antilles websites, so you can do so without even leaving your hotel room if you take your laptop.

If you plan to gamble in Netherlands Antilles, make sure you call ahead to find out about each facility’s policies. Some places have cover charges, require you to follow a dress code, or have specific processes for awarding winnings that might take a few weeks if you aren’t resident.
