Aruba not only has all the best games a top casino would offer, but they also have invented games that have gone on to be worldwide sensations, like Caribbean Stud Poker. It was first created here in 1988, and is one of the few casino games that offers players a progressive jackpot. Of course, if you like the old standards, they have blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, and baccarat.
Table minimums typically start at $5, however some start at $10, depending on the casino. If slot machine action or sports betting is more your speed, they have plenty of that as well. US currency is used for all gaming in Aruba casinos, which makes it very easy for US tourists.
