St. Lucia Casino TOP-5

St. Lucia Casino TOP-5 (actually - 1 seat and full guide)

💡 Fact: St Lucia has one full land casino in operation - Treasure Bay Casino at Baywalk Mall (Rodney Bay/Gros Islet). It is often referred to as "the island's only casino."

Below is a "TOP-5" in the format of a smart guide: five key blocks about when to go, what is there, how to play more comfortable, and how to replace a casino if you want alternatives.

1) Where is it and how to enter

Location: Baywalk Mall, in the heart of Rodney Bay - nearby Reduit beach, restaurants, bar street. The casino is just a few minutes walk from many hotels in the Rodney Bay area.

Entrances and mode: entrance from the level of the shopping center; navigate the pointers inside Baywalk. (The current watch and announcements are most conveniently checked by the Baywalk Mall itself.)

💡 Status note: there are conflicting reviews online (some travel guides wrote about the closure). Before the visit, check the current clock at Baywalk Mall or according to fresh reviews - the mall infrastructure indicates the presence of a casino, but tourist sites sometimes give out outdated notes.

2) What are the games inside

Slots/video poker: the main array of the park.

Tables: classic - blackjack, roulette, sometimes craps/poker lounge (composition may vary depending on season/demand).

Tip: Arrive early in the evening - minimum rates are usually lower and tables are freer (based on travel reviews of Rodney Bay and early "peaks").

3) When best to go

Before/after dinner: Baywalk and the surrounding area is "dinner + walk + hour of play." A good bundle for cruisers and north coast guests.

On "peak" days: in the evenings from Thursday to Saturday more active and more fun; on weekdays - calmer, easier boarding tables.

4) What's nearby (food, bars, hotels)

Everything is under one roof: the shopping center itself plus neighboring malls/streets - restaurants, bars, live music, taxi ranks.

Handy for: Rodney Bay/Reduit Beach guests and north coast hotels (Cap Estate, Gros Isle) For example, large family resorts in Cap Estate are regularly mentioned as a leisure base in Rodney Bay (without their casino on site).

5) What are the "replacements" if the casino is one

There is no network of 3-5 casinos on the island, so the alternatives are:

Official lottery (NLA/SNL): circulation and instant games under a separate law (this is not a casino, but a legal gaming product).
Sports bars with broadcasts: popular with cricket/football fans; bets - through the online accounts of offshore operators at your peril and risk (there is no local online license).
Rodney Bay nightlife: for those who want "no rates" - live music, bars, late restaurants within walking distance of Baywalk.

Quick Guest Checklist

1. Document 18 + and adequate bankroll.

2. Cards/cash: in the resort area, bank cards plus mall ATMs; tip - cash is more convenient.

3. Rates and limits: start from the minimum, fix the "stop loss."

4. Breaks: the format "dinner → game → walk" helps to keep pace and budget.

5. Taxi and security: official parking at the mall; don't leave valuables unattended.

FAQ

How many casinos are there in St Lucia?

In fact - one, Treasure Bay Casino (Baywalk Mall, Rodney Bay). Guidebooks refer to it as the island's only casino.

Is there a casino right in the major resorts?

No, profile hotels in and around the Cap Estate advertise leisure activities but not their own casinos; guests usually travel to Rodney Bay.

Are online casinos legal?

There is no separate local online mode; many tourists/residents use offshore sites - this is convenient, but without local consumer protection. (For details, see our article about online gambling in St. Lucia.)

Is the lottery a casino?

No, it isn't. The lottery is managed by a separate body (NLA/SNL) and lives in its legal contour.

The request "TOP-5 the casino of St. Lucia" sounds tourist-like, but the reality of the island is chamber: one licensed hall in Baywalk Mall and many tasty options around it (food, music, shopping). If you want a casino-evening - plan Rodney Bay + Treasure Bay Casino; if you want "something else," under your hand - a lottery and a rich nightlife. This is the case when "little, but aptly."
