CASINOS AND GAMBLING ARE LEGAL IN DUTCH SINT MAARTEN, BUT NOT IN ST MARTIN

One of the big differences between Sint Maarten and St Martin is gambling, there is no legal gambling in St Martin. On the other hand, Sint Maarten has gone casino crazy, and now you can even find slot machines in hotel lobbies.  Everyone has there views and opinions about gambling in St Maarten. There is a growing issue with local women, seemingly neglecting their children in order to gamble. There are also those who believe that the casinos stimulate the economy and is an additional source of income to the island.
I haven't been to every casino in St Maarten, but I've been to most, but not all. My number one thing is customer service. St Maarten has a lot of casinos, but very little customer service. The Princess and Coliseum are good, usually. There are some casinos such as Beach Plaza, where you can't even leave a purse unattended, you'll be robbed. The best thing I would recommend is that you find a casino that treats you right, whether you're playing the penny slot or the tables. There are some casinos that I would never recommend, such as The Jump Up Casino. You don't have the money to repair that broken window, and you haven't repaired that window in years, and yet you have money in the slot machines??
