Haiti is situated in the Caribbean sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Haiti also constitutes other smaller islands such as Les Cayemites, Ile de Anacaona, La Gonave, La Tourtue or Tortuga, and the uninhabited island of Navasse, shared with the US. There are only two Haiti casinos available for your gambling pleasures, and both are situated in the capital city of Port au Prince.

Both Haiti casinos, El Rancho Hotel & Casino as well as Royal Haitian Hotel & Casino, are hotels as the name implies. The El Rancho Hotel & Casino is open daily between 5 pm and 3 am and offers 13 table games, out of which blackjack occupies nine tables, poker is played at two tables, and roulette is practiced at two tables. Fifty slot machines are also part of the casino for the guests' entertainment. In its complex, the El Rancho Hotel & Casino provides 95 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a piano bar, a discothèque, spa and health club center with a swimming pool, and a tennis court, as well.

The other Haiti casino, the Royal Haitian Hotel & Casino, is open between 9 pm until the last guest in the house leaves. With an area of 500 square feet made available for just the gambling facilities, it offers six table games divided as follows: for blackjack three tables, for Caribbean stud poker one table, and for roulette two tables, as well as 35 slot machines.

The Royal Haitian Hotel & Casino provides 85 rooms and suites, one restaurant, a bar, swimming pool, and a tennis court, as well. Both Haiti casinos are extremely hospitable, welcoming tourists from all over the world, as well as the local residents.

The legal gambling age in Haiti casinos is 18 years and above, and the same applies for drinking alcoholic beverages. It is advisable for you to carry recent photo identification in order to have access to the casinos for gambling purposes. The official languages spoken in the Haiti islands are French and Haitian; Spanish is widely spoken, even though it is not an official language. English can usually be found in tourist-populated places such as casinos, restaurants, hotels, bars, and shopping areas.
