Find a Casino in Alajuela
 
Drake Bay Beach
The province of Alajuela is one of the best places to stay in Costa Rica. One reason for this is that Alajuela enjoys a close proximity to San Jose, yet it is far away enough from the humdrum of city life. Lush and green, Alajuela lets you enjoy rural Costa Rica at its best and offers the curious traveler plenty to explore and see. Coffee plantations line the roads and highways in this region, while as you head north, the active Arenal Volcano comes into focus with its impressive fireworks display.

A great vacation destination if you enjoy nature, Alajuela also offers the worldly traveler plenty of modern comforts. If you enjoy gambling, there are a couple of casinos in the Alajuela where you can try your luck. Both located in the provincial capital of Alajuela city, these casinos have plenty of games and electronic slot machines to play.

If you are considering visiting a Costa Rican casino, there are a few things that you must keep in mind. Firstly, while there are many common casino games played here, the rules tend to be different from those in say Vegas. Rummy is a popular local game and is similar to blackjack; however, the rules of rummy are not the same. Roulette as well is different here, with numbers drawn from a tumbler. Casinos in this part of the world tend to be informal places, so you do not have to worry about a dress code. Just dress neatly and casually. A minimum bet is 500 colones.

The best casino in the Alajuela area is at the Martino Resort and Spa. Close to the airport, this resort has one of the most elegant casinos in the country. Open till 3 am everyday, you get to enjoy a variety of games out here from American Blackjack and Caribbean Poker to Pai Gow.

Another popular hotel with a casino on its premises is the Garden Hotel and Casino, located just under a mile away from the Juan Santamaria International Airport. With a variety of top class facilities and amenities, the casino here is also superb, with plenty of games and eight tables to play at.
