For my trip coming in January Im going with a couple of friends and plan to check out the Casino scene for the 1st time since traveling there over 15 times in 3 years, which I never had desire to before. I know Playa Dorada has a casino but I stopped by there but I did not see any black jack being played last time I was down there, which is me and my friends game favorite game. I know Cabarete has a couple of Casinos but Im looking for good ones at least of like Atlantic City quality here in the US.

The American Casino at Jack Tar Village in Playa Dorado is the only 100% legitimate casino in the area. The only casino with video of every table. If a dispute arises, the management will allow access to the tapes. As far a blackjack, All the cards are displayed at the beginning of the day. The complete decks are there. They have blackjack from 4:00 PM to 3:00AM every day. Minimum bet is 150 pesos. Differing from Atlantic City, they allow surrender.

What makes the other Casinos less legitimate?

Cheating, scams, collusion....etc.

Lots of that here.

First, I eliminate any casino that has games such as progressive keno. Then I question their integrity if they fail to display all the cards for blackjack before the shift starts. Then I question their integrity in the manner in which they handle disputes. As I said, American Casino's tables are under video tape. They will resolve all disputes by reviewing the video. If the patron insists they will be shown the tape. Not so for All the other casinos. In the other casinos the pit boss is the sole judge and jury.

There is a new casino in Cabarete, not sure how legitamate this will be run but it looks great from the outside/inside.

It's just east of Cabarete, you can't miss it, it has a huge bright sign. Looks like a little tiny Ceasars Palace.

Is it any bigger than the typical Dominican casino?

Actually, I've never been in a Dominican casino so I don't know how big they are. I've watch it being build over the past year, as it is right by my house. I will not be seeing the finished product until the 29th when I return to Cabarete. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. The guy who put it together seems to have a real knack for doing things right.
