Gambling on Vacation: The St James Club, Antigua

So you’re off on the vacation you’ve been planning for ages now, you’ve got the time off from work and are finally in a place where financially you can afford a vacation and not have to eat ramen for two months after to make up for it. The question is - where are you going?

Well if you’re a gambling enthusiast who loves the sand, the sea, and beautifully warm weather then you’re obviously headed to the St James Club in Antigua. It’s a gorgeous 100 acre resort/casino on an isolated peninsula of the island which might leave you feeling like you’re at the end of the world. And what more can you ask for in your vacation from the real world than soft white caribbean sand underfoot, a tropical rum punch in your hand and the roulette wheel of a good casino spinning before you on those golden lit days.

The St James Club has blackjack tables, poker, stud poker and of course over fifty of everyone’s favorite - slot machines! The decadence of the resort is what makes it feel like a Casino Royale and will definitely make you feel like you’re in a James Bond film and Bond himself is liable to bust through the doors or roar past you in a motorboat chase at any moment.

Of course, if you can’t get away to Antigua quite just yet there are tons of online casinos, some of which have an island theme that are waiting for you to indulge the fantasy there. Who knows you might hit it big and be able to finance your vacation playing at one of them.

Antigua joins the UK Approved List

Antiguan online casinos should be experiencing a huge increase in sheer numbers soon with its recent inclusion on the UK White List of foreign online casinos. The White List is comprised of foriegn online casinos that are allowed to advertise throughout the UK. This list protects gamblers in the UK from viewing ads by unlicensed online casinos which may in fact be elaborate hoaxes designed to strip players of their hard earned cash unfairly.  

With this new ability to make itself heard the Antiguan online casino community has already had an upswing in new casinos applying for Antiguan licensing. The government in Antigua expects almost a one hundred percent increase in revenue from this industry within the next year. This is great news for the general Antiguan economy which took a great hit two years ago when financial transactions between US gamblers and foreign online casinos were banned. This new influx of ad revenue and players from the UK should be just the remedy the Antiguans online casino economy needs.
