FAQ
Are there casinos in Haiti?
Yes, Haiti has gaming establishments in Port-au-Prince, though the industry is very limited given the security situation and political instability the country has faced since the 2010 earthquake. International tourism, which was an important income source for Haiti before the earthquake, has only partially recovered, limiting the growth of tourism-oriented gaming.
Why is Haiti gaming so limited?
Gaming in Haiti is affected by the political instability and humanitarian crisis the country has faced since the 2010 earthquake that left more than 300,000 dead and destroyed much of Port-au-Prince.
