All of the casino's on the island are pretty small which surprises me that smoking is allowed. While this casino has a decent amount of slot machines, the smell of smoke is overwhelming.

Despite them saying the have the biggest casino in Aruba, it's really quite conjested and the smokiest on the Island. The layout is very unusual and they really do not have tables set up for $5 play. You need to be prepared to be at $10 or $15 per bet or more.
$10 blackjack tables on Saturday night, can't go wrong there. $5 tables on the other nights. Older, not as glitzy as it could be, but the main thing is affordable gambling.
This Casino is the terrible. The overall appearance is horrible. The Poker Room is being run by locals. Who is actually running the place. I witnessed cheating and stealing and no one cares.
I have never seen filth like the bathrooms in the Casino. You walk in and turn around and walk out. I complained and no one does anything....

Located in the Holiday Inn Resort, this casino is medium sized but I think it must be one of the oldest Casino in Aruba, next to the Crystal Palace in Oranjestad. Can be accessed from the lobby and is across the Parking lot from Tony Roma.
The casino is pretty dark, as casinos go. Lots of machines and a few tables. We didn't win anything while here on our two visits but we had fun.
First thing you notice is its very dark and smells stronly of cigarettes.
Half the machines were out of order and the other half wouldnt accept the bills or tickets from the other machines. When we were there, early evening, just after dinner time, no one was playing any of the table games. I would suggest any of the other...
