Belize has a limited number of casinos and gambling facilities, but you will find two noteworthy spots to try your hand at games of chance. So if you want to take a break from the sand and surf or from exploring the region's many historic sites, you should be sure to visit The Princess Hotel-Casino in Belize City and The Palace Casino in Ambergris Caye. Princess Hotel-CasinoThe Princess Casino is the largest casino on the island and is located at the Princess Hotel in Belize City. The facility was recently renovated, and its most noticeable addition is the Vegas-style casino built onto the hotel. After a day of sun and sand, this new gambling hot spot is a great place to enjoy your evening while vacationing in Belize. Features of this hotel-casino include 400 slot machines and three game tables. Rotating between the sizzling slots and games of poker can be a great way to find variety at this exciting hot spot. The Princess Hotel-Casino also offers American roulette and Caribbean stud poker. The hotel also has an exquisite dining facility as well as the Blue Hole bar, so you can sip a tasty cocktail while trying for some big bucks in Belize. You can visit the Princess Hotel-Casino 365 days a year, seven days a week, and it is open from 12:00 p.m. until 4:30 a.m. The PalaceAn exciting addition to the San Pedro nightlife scene is The Palace. Located on Ambergris Caye, The Palace is only open six days a week from 7:00 p.m. until midnight, and it is closed on Wednesdays. Although it's only a little bit larger than a convenience store, gamers can still try their luck and possibly win a little or a lot at The Palace casino. Several live tables are available for a game of blackjack, as well as 30 slot and poker machines. Both Belizean and U.S. dollars are accepted at the casino. Exciting slot machine and card-game action along with great Caribbean hospitality make a trip to The Palace a worthwhile stop for happening nightlife and plenty of gaming opportunities. There are other places to gamble on the island, but they are a lot smaller, sometimes just one small room, and can be found in some stores, shops, restaurants, and hotels. These facilities often have video poker or other game machines. It's rumored that a casino in the Corozal Free Zone in northern Belize is in the works to be built, but for now, The Palace and the Princess Hotel-Casino are the only large gaming facilities in Belize. |
