Wind Creek Seaport Casino

Fodor's choice

This super-lively casino right on the waterfront, across the street from the Renaissance Marketplace, is open until 4 am. With more than 300 modern slots, four blackjack tables, Caribbean stud, roulette, and regular poker, there are also state-of-the-art race and sports book operations.  The casino is behind the giant flamingo statues.

Excelsior Casino

Located in the Holiday Inn Aruba Resort, this is one of the oldest casinos on the island, and unfortunately its age is beginning to show; it stays open until 4 am. Many sections in the common areas are somewhat run-down and the air-filtering system could use an upgrade, but there is still a good selection of standard slots, blackjack, craps, and roulette tables, and the place is usually hopping with locals for daily bingo games. The blackjack tables are known for not hitting "the soft 17."

Hyatt Regency Casino

One of the island's smaller gaming spots but just as glitzy, this lively casino offers 13 gaming tables, 148 slot machines, and 13 video poker machines. Be sure to join their Player's Advantage Club for all kinds of free play and point promotions.

Liv Casino

A small but welcoming little casino is just off the lobby of Barceló Aruba Resort. It's a great spot to try your luck at some of the most modern slot games. They also have blackjack and roulette, and there are also some interesting promotions every week.

The Casino Aruba

This modern Vegas-style casino offers all the latest gaming options, upgraded machines, and lots of betting action like blackjack, poker, and roulette. Every day there is a different promotion or special for their VIP Players Club members (free of charge to join) and frequent poker tournaments.

Wind Creek Crystal Casino

Part of the Renaissance Aruba Wind Creek Resort, this glittering casino evokes Monaco's grand establishments. There are lots of modern slots, table games like blackjack, roulette, Baccarat, and different types of poker. This casino is popular among cruise-ship passengers, who stroll over from the port to watch and play in tournaments and bet on sporting events. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it's a great place for late-night bites and drinks, which are served in the lounge until 6 am.

Xanadu

Opened in late 2022, this modern space in the Holiday Inn is bright and cheery with a welcoming staff. The casino boasts 186 new slot machines, Moneyball sports betting, table games, and a poker room. A Players Club and free parking add to the allure.
