Jamaica set to inaugurate its initial casino, with an approximate cost of $400 million.
A $400 million development by Princess Hotels & Resorts is set to introduce Jamaica's first casino to the island nation next year. The casino, scheduled to open by the fourth quarter of 2025, will be located at the Princess property in Green Bay, Negril, and will be accessible from two newly opened resorts.
The upcoming casino, a state-of-the-art gaming lounge, was announced at the official opening of the Princess Grand Jamaica and Princess Senses The Mangrove resorts. Enrico Pezzoli, the Managing Director of Princess Hotels & Resorts, expressed his belief that the casino would attract more tourists than ever before.
The new builds were described by Jamaica's Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, as one of the "most beautiful" he has seen, featuring 1,005 rooms and several overwater suites. Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett welcomed the upcoming casino as a significant addition to the island's tourism offerings.
The Princess resort was the focus of a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Prime Minister Holness last week, marking its official opening. The introduction of Jamaica's first casino is expected to boost the country's tourism industry, contributing to increased visitor numbers. Further details regarding the exact opening date of the casino are yet to be announced.
The introduction of Jamaica's first casino, a significant addition to the island's tourism offerings, is scheduled to attract attention with its state-of-the-art gaming lounge in the bustling casino-and-gambling scene of Las Vegas-style casino-culture. As the casino games diversify, Jamaica may become a top destination for seeking trendy casino-gaming experiences, cementing its place on the global casino map.
