SailBadtheSinner Posted February 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The casino on your cruise ship could be open assuming the cruise line bought a license for it; there could be a land based casino opening in early 2018 from Royal Gazette: http://www.royalgazette.com/news/article/20170403/islands-first-casino-may-open-in-early-2018 SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeton12321 Posted February 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 No casino on the island. Most cruise ship casinos are open in the evening when overnighting but not during the day and they do have a hard close time at night- usually 2am from what we saw. Not all cruise lines bought the license to open their casinos in port there but most did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd Posted February 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ship casinos usually open 9PM when in port in Bermuda. No casinos on the island, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2018 All correct which is why they let the casinos open on the ships. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Well yes and no- they don’t just let them but rather charge them a large fee for a license to open in port. The ships that regularly call on Bermuda all purchase it but a lot of ships that only call once or twice a year don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ships that call regularly have bought a license. Bermuda has a gaming commission and the plan is to open casinos on the island itself. The projection is for a casino to open at the Hamilton Princess in 2018. SBtS is correct that there could be one in 2018. In Bermuda projected dates are often delayed so it is best to keep expectations low. I do think that there will be a casino or casinos in Bermuda, but until an opening date is announced the answer is none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
