After a year long debate, the legislation has finally agreed to allow the government to create the Casino Gaming Commission to grant licences for businesses that want to attract old and new consumers with another source of entertainment.. GAMBLING!
Religious groups were against approving this for good reasons but gambling proves to be very beneficial to Jamaica's economic status.
Jamaica currently has a few hundred slot machines at hotels in Kingston and in tourist areas.
Prime Minister Bruce Golding stated that companies who are interested in a gambling license will need to invest a minimum of $1.5 billion and build a hotel with at least 2,000 rooms.
This initiative is sure to keep Jamaica's tourism industry on an ever evolving status.
Well we'll see how the Jamaican ppl respond 2 this...Casinos hav their advantages n disadvantages but Bruce a push it n since mi nuh trust him, mi nuh truss it but mi willing fi see how it work out cuz right now ntn nah gwaan fi Jamaican tourism, tourists dem seh dem fraid, crime rate 2 high
