Casinos in Bahamas: 2026 guide
The Bahamas is a Caribbean gambling-tourism destination with large casino resorts. Land-based gambling is legal and regulated by the Gaming Board for The Bahamas: the flagships are the mega-resorts Atlantis on Paradise Island and Baha Mar in Nassau, aimed primarily at foreign tourists. Historically casinos were open only to non-residents, but a reform legalised local lotteries and gaming houses ('web shops') for citizens. Online casinos in the usual sense are not aimed at the domestic market. The currency is the Bahamian dollar, pegged to the US dollar, which is also freely accepted. Settlements are made by cards and banking instruments. Tourist players should note that legal gambling is concentrated in land-based resort casinos, and the rules for residents and non-residents differ.
