Casinos in Barbados
Barbados is one of the most famous islands in the world, thanks in no small part to the fact that its located in Caribbean and the sense that it has it all. Its a paradise island for those that want golden sands, gorgeous looking seas and a friendly welcome from the locals, but what about people who like to have a flutter on their travels?
On that front the answer is mixed. On the one hand, its not legal to operate fully-fledged casinos in Barbados on account of the fact that its illegal to run card games or spin roulette wheels on the island. That doesnt mean that theres no way of betting here, however, so well look at the venues that are available should you visit.
Barbados Casino List
Perhaps it would be more accurate to label this section of the page as The Gambling Areas, given that theres only one venue in Barbados that calls itself a casino and that only has slot machines on offer. Thats because Barbados allows just three types of gambling on its shores: slot machines, horse racing and lotteries.
Its common for hotels and bars to offer slot machines to customers. The various parts of Barbados have differing amounts of slot houses within them, so lets look at the different areas and what they offer.
Christ Church
Christ Church (Alena.K / thisisnl.nl)
One of Barbados eleven political divisions, Christ Church is based over around fifty-seven square kilometres and is located towards the south of the island. As well as being the location of the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport, Christ Church also plays host to St Lawrence Gap.
Thats notable for its popularity with tourists, so if youre heading to Barbados then youre either likely to spend time in St Lawrence Gap or at least consider doing so. If you do then youll have the choice of seven different slot houses to head to and engage in some gambling:
Lucky Horseshoe, Worthing, Christ Church
Open since and offering sports on the TV alongside slot machines, its an American-style eatery that is open twenty-four seven. There are thirty-six machines available to play.
Silver Fox Arcade, Christ Church
Labelling itself as Barbados Best Entertainment Arcade, the Silver Fox offers fifty slot machines for people to use. It focuses on the gaming machines rather than opting for a more restaurant feel, it is perhaps the most casino like venue in Christ Church.
DFast Lime Casino, Christ Church
The venue opened in and is the only one on the island that actually boasts the word casino in its title. Dont let that fool you, though, you arent going to find any roulette tables or poker rooms on offer here.
Whilst the building itself is dedicated purely to gaming machines, of which there are twenty-five on offer, its located close to a number of restaurants that you can visit in between gaming sessions if you wish to.
Dover Beach Hotel, Slots and Sportsbar, Dover Beach
This is a rare example in Barbados of a venue telling everything that you need to know in its title alone. Dover Beach Hotel, Slots and Sportsbar opened its doors for business in September of and is a hotel with a Sportsbar attached first and foremost.
Based over three blocks that offering enough space for fifty-nine rooms, the slot machines are actually pretty low on the venues list of priorities. There are still enough to keep you busy, though, so do pop along if youre in the area.
Play Fair Arcade, Hasting Road
There are three Fair Play Arcade on the island, with this one offering a number of slot machines mixed in with games that are more commonly associated with younger people. Were talking the likes of basketball throwing machines, for example.
Lucky 7 Arcade, Oistins
There are around twelve machines offering electronic versions of the likes of video poker at Lucky 7 Arcade. That means that its hardly the biggest arcade on the island, but if youre in Oistins then its worth a visit.
South Gap Arcade, St Lawrence Gap
Youll find this arcade actually inside the South Gap Hotel, with the entertainment on offer downstairs.
St Michael
Saint Michaels Cathedral
We could technically put St Michael and Bridgetown in the same section, given that Bridgetown is actually located within the parish of St Michael. Its easier to break them up, however, with St Michael covering an area of thirty-nine square kilometres.
Home to the International Seaport of Barbados, if you head to the country on a cruise then youre almost certainly going to land here. It also plays host to four arcades in the wider St Michael are, with details of each here:
Play Fair Arcade, St Michael
As with the Play Fair Arcade on Hastings Road in Christ Church, it is a curious mix of slot machines that allow you to gamble and other games that are more suited to a younger audience. That does add to the atmosphere, though.
Lucky Horseshoe, Warrens, St Michael
Another in the Lucky Horseshoe chain, this is predominantly a restaurant that has slot machines on site rather than a place that is specifically dedicated to the playing of slot style games. Come for some food, get involved in the slots whilst youre there.
Diamond Tower Arcade, St Michael
The Diamond Tower Arcade offers both snacks and alcohol drinks, with the one-armed bandits there to keep you busy whilst youre eating and drinking. There are a reasonable number of slots that will entertain you.
JoJos Bingo Hall, Sports Bar & Arcade, St Michael
Another rare example of a venue that tells you everything that you need to know in its title, you can get involved in some games of bingo here. It opened in and promises more than twenty gaming machines to people who attend.
Its actually located within One Carlton Plaza and the bingo hall has enough room for two hundred and thirty people. The gaming arcade has thirty-six seats in, whilst theres another section that shows live sport whenever theres something worth watching.
Bridgetown
Bridgetown (Solarisys / thisisnl.nl)
The capital of Barbados, Bridgetown was established in and is based over forty square kilometres of land. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, also being the largest city on the island. Its known locally as The City or simply Town.
The location of Bridgetown in the wider parish of St Michael is evident in the fact that it used to be called The Town of Saint Michael. As the countrys capital is obviously one of the most visited locations in Barbados, with the following five arcades to show for it:
The Winning Streak, Bridgetown
You can find The Winning Streak on the corner of Marhill Street and Trafalgar and as the name suggests it is largely dedicated to the world of slots.
Lucky 7 Arcade, Bridgetown
The Lucky 7 Arcade looks a little bit more like an internet cafe than a casino, thanks to the look of the slot machines themselves. Its an arcade that has a number of slots in, so dont be surprised to see less adult games on offer too.
Pot-O-Gold Arcade, Bridgetown
This isnt the biggest arcade in Barbados and appears to have taken its name from one of the games on offer there. Nevertheless its a good place to pop into if its quiet and you fancy a go on the slots.
Golden Treasure Arcade, Bridgetown
Located on the gloriously named Dottin Alley, the Golden Treasure Arcade is a nice place to head to if youve had too much sun or the weather has turned somewhat. As with pretty much every other arcade on the island, its open twenty-four hours a day.
Play Fair Arcade, Bridgetown
The final member of the Fair Play Arcade chain, the one in the capital city is possibly the biggest of the three. Thats not to say that it offers a whole heap more than the others, just that theres a slight degree more variety in the games.
Other Locations
Saint James
There are two more betting venues to tell you about located in Barbados, with one of them based in St Thomas and the other in St James. The latter is more specifically found in Holetown, which was the first place that English settlers landed when they came to the island in
It was originally called St James Town before getting its current, rather less appealing, title. St Thomas, meanwhile, is about as close to being in the middle of Barbados as its possible to get, with no access to the sea from the thirty-four square kilometres of the parish.
Lucky Horseshoe, Bagatelle, St Thomas
As with the other members of the Lucky Horseshoe chain, the one in Bagatelle is actually a restaurant and bar first and foremost. The restaurants self-assigned tagline is Burgers, Wings, Sports, so you can guess what to expect from that.
There are slot machines on-site, though, so you wont be too disappointed if you head there specifically to have a bet. Theyre available twenty-four seven, whilst everything else tends to shut down at around eleven at night.
Las Vegas, St James
Named after Americas most famous gambling venue, the Las Vegas in St James opened at the start of February and offers free food and drink to players. Its open twenty-four seven, like most other venues, and is located in Holetown.
Other Forms of Gambling in Barbados
Garrison Savannah Racetrack in Bridgetown (CaribDigita / thisisnl.nl)
Whilst slot machines are the thing youll find more than any other on the island of Barbados, its not the only form of gambling available there. The lottery is legal and is very popular, with lottery giant IGT operating on the island. Instant win and scratch cards are available from the same places youd buy your lottery tickets.
Perhaps the thing that surprises visitors to Barbados the most is that there is a racecourse on the island. The Barbados Turf Club is based at the Garrison Savannah and hosts regular meetings. Formed in , the racecourses offers about twenty-five meetings over the course of a year and pari-mutuel betting is commonplace there.
