There are supposedly 3 casinos here:

1) Windward hotel and casino




No idea what time it opens but it was closed at 11am.
Through the window i saw ~3 tables and about 20 slots.
The slots were all turned off so no idea what type but they were of the small older cabinets

2) Winner's Circle casino
- Located in the Port of Sale Mall

3) Parrot Club casino (St John)
Take ferry from St Thomas:

I didn't gamble much when I lived in Puerto Rico, but I think the casinos only opened in the evening. You also needed a jacket to gamble and they had hundreds of the ugliest jackets available to lend you. Someone told me they lend out horrible jackets so no one wants to walk off with one.

I looked and it seems that most PR casinos are now 24/7. There are also several more casinos than when I lived there.

3) Parrot Club casino (St John)
Take ferry from St Thomas red hook terminal ($16 roundtrip):

Finally re-opened 3/2022 after being damaged by hurricane pre-COVID.

Small but clean and well lit casino a block from the ferry.
Vp is horrible (see above pic) but the Royal progressive was $16xx.
Mostly various Lock-It-Links and Asian themed slots.
Also an e-roulette and an e-bj machines.

Lost $400 @$2/spin on Fu dao Le slot chasing high progressive. Never hit it.
And never got a bonus round.
Guess I should have figured because of the horrible vp.

The dress code is not enforced anymore either.one thing I remember was back when machines took coins players would save their machines by putting their car keys in the coin slot.

8/5 JoB? Quarter game but $2 (8 coins) for Progressive


Their VP has an auto-hold feature and it's bad.
It will always pick a gutshot over a high card.
What's worse, it'll pick high card over a 3 card straight flush 1 gapper.
Ie: 2578j and 578 is clubs

What's even more annoying is the slow double up feature for all wins.
I couldn't find a way to turn it off.
Really, really, really cuts down on hph.

And it makes a clicking sound everytime it adds your win to your money total like it's an analog device

That looks a lot like the old Pot of Gold machines. I see the copyright is 1986.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I played quite a bit at the Old San Juan casino in Puerto Rico about 30 years ago.

The manual section beginning page 71 suggests to me that poker games are not pulltab based.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Well, in one of the hands i played, i was dealt 4568Q and it auto held 4568.
i only held the Q and got another Q on the redraw for a winning hand.
if pull tab, would that hand still end up QQxxx if i held 4568?

The autohold means nothing so just ignore it.

What I'm getting from the manual is that the card games are not pulltab based.

I decline to speculate on the mechanics of a pulltab variant.
