Fodor's Expert Review Casino du Gosier

For the higher-stakes gambling at this casino, you'll have to change at least €100 into chips to be part of the action. However, the blackjack limit is €10. Slot machines open at 10 am and shut down at 4 am. The complex is showing serious signs of age, but locals love it and jam the parking lot on weekends. (It is in walking distance to most properties in the hotel zone.) Casino de Gosier has a bar and a well-priced buffet restaurant that is open from Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner. The bar can really crank up on Saturday nights or holidays, with sexy island girls in brief silver lamé costumes dispensing free champagne. Local bands sometimes add to the energy. You will need to bring your passport or you won't get past the checkpoint; the legal gambling age is 21.
