Jump Up Casino Philipsburg

Jump Up Casino Philipsburg is known as Sint Maarten bingo home and the capital highest-festive atmosphere casino, with its Caribbean carnival decor, nightly live music, state-of-the-art slot machines, poker, baccarat, blackjack, roulette and daily bingo tables, and complimentary bar drinks. The casino slogan is where every day is Carnival, reflecting the permanent party atmosphere distinguishing it from the island more formal casinos. It operates under Dutch Caribbean gaming regulations. Jump Up Casino is located on Front Street in Philipsburg within walking distance of Great Bay cruise docks, making it one of Sint Maarten highest cruise passenger traffic casinos. Sint Maarten Carnival, held in April-May, is the island most culturally distinctive festival, with comparsa parades, steel drum and soca live music, and the Jump Up, the Caribbean street dance giving the casino its name.

Sint Maarten Carnival and Dutch Caribbean cultural identity

Sint Maarten Carnival, one of the eastern Caribbean most colorful, is held between April and May with elaborate nightly comparsa parades, live soca, calypso and steel drum music, and the famous Jump Up, the Caribbean street dance where the entire population comes out to celebrate in Philipsburg streets. Sint Maarten culture is one of the Caribbean most diverse: with Dutch, French, African, Latin and East Indian influences, the island has developed a unique cultural identity combining Caribbean hospitality with Dutch efficiency. Sint Maarten was severely affected by Hurricane Irma in September 2017, one of the Atlantic most intense with 295 km/h winds that destroyed 90% of the island infrastructure. Sint Maarten reconstruction, including its casinos and hotels, was one of the Caribbean largest post-disaster reconstruction operations in the 21st century.
