3) Short comparison
Confirm the exact hours, limits and current composition of games at the entrance: catalogs and media provide guidelines, but the fleet of tables/slots and schedule sometimes change.
4) How is supervision arranged and why do you need it
Casinos in Guyana operate under a hotel model and are licensed by the Gaming Authority of Guyana (two licenses: for premises and for the operator). This is a basic guarantee of compliance with standards and a point for complaints/questions.
The story with Carnival Casino showed that the regulator carefully checks applications and conditions: the final permission is only after the requirements are met.
5) Visit practice: Player checklist
1. Documents and age. Keep ID/Passport (18 +) with you. Some handbooks list the age threshold as standard Caribbean 18 +. Check at the entrance.
2. Dress code and hours. Large objects have internal rules for the appearance and opening hours of tables. View hotel website/current reviews.
3. Bankroll and security. Use the safe in the room, change the chips in parts, do not carry large sums.
4. Responsible play. Set limits on amount/time; pause, plan to return to the hotel by taxi.
6) Frequent questions
Is it all the country's casinos? Today, two objects in Georgetown consistently appear in public sources: Princess and Carnival. Catalogs/media confirm the presence of just two active sites. (Old articles may indicate "one" casino - just outdated data before Carnival launches in 2020)
Where can I see addresses/contacts/updates?
Ramada Georgetown Princess Hotel website, hotel/casino pages in hotel aggregators and reviews.
News and press reports about Sleepin/Carnival Casino (December 2020) and profile catalogs of casinos.
7) Where to go if there is a dispute
The casino regulator is the Gaming Authority of Guyana (General Office in Georgetown). Hold checks/card slips and capture incident details - this will speed up communication.
For the gambling tourist, Guyana's map is simple: Princess Casino is the best choice if you want a large park of slots and a rich resort infrastructure; Carnival Casino is an urban alternative in the center, convenient for short visits and business trips. Both facilities operate under the supervision of the Gaming Authority, which adds predictability and basic player protection. Before your visit, check the hours and current conditions on hotel websites or in fresh reviews.
