Bahamas is the place to
be if you want to make a few thousand dollars in one
night, or dance the night away, or just want to show off
your newly acquired bronze tan - the Bahamas nightlife
will offer you more then a few places to do it.
The
Bahamas
gambling has four large casinos; two on New
Providence, one at Cable Beach and the other on Paradise
Island, and the other two on Grand Bahama: one in
Freeport and the other in Lucaya.
It must be known to you
that gambling is legal in the Bahamas and the gambling
age is 18 and above. Gambling is legal for everybody
except Bahamians. Bahamians who are caught gambling are
subject to fines of up to $500. Contrary to this,
tourists who are caught gambling are rewarded with a
complimentary drink. The casinos sport a wide variety of
games, including roulette, black-jack, baccarat, dice,
slot machines, the wheel of fortune and the 'big six' to
name a few. Those who don't trust their luck and don’t
want to gamble, the casinos also offer entertainment
shows.
