With 23 officially licensed casino establishments, Panama City stands as one of the global hotspots for casino enthusiasts.

Jamaica, Montego Bay
Since April 2008, the Jamaican government has granted approval for a new addition to the gaming circuit. Specifically, the approval was given for the first legal casino, but it also allowed resorts to obtain special licenses for gaming halls and casinos. This means that establishments like the Coral Cliff Hotel in Montego Bay can now construct casinos filled with slot machines and various other games. In fact, this decision has opened up exciting opportunities for the gaming industry in Jamaica.
Montenegro, Kotor
The roster would be unfinished without acknowledging Montenegro's autonomous casino, the host casino where Agent 007 confronts the villain Le Chiffre in the 2006 James Bond film, titled "Casino Royale." Even though this casino was fictional, the small Balkan nation is indeed home to numerous casinos, with a maximum of 14 casinos being permitted.
