The Riande Granada Hotel & Crown Casino in Panama

The Riande Granada Hotel & Crown Casino is the place to go if you are looking for some serious fun. The place has a quiet, laid-back kind of feel, and isn’t crawling with “working women” as many of the other Casinos in Panama City are.

The Crown Casino, attached to the 187 room Riande Grande Hotel, is fairly small, with only 5 table games and 40 gaming machines. Games include Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette.

The staff at the Casino is friendly and and the atmosphere is very chill. If you are looking for a night of wild and crazy partying, this may not be the right place for you. However, if what you are after is a place to play Read more

The Thunderbird Resorts Group’s Gran Hotel Soloy’s Fiesta Casino in Panama City has a total of 193 gaming machines and six table games, but that isn’t what makes it stand out from the rest of the pack. What makes the Gran Hotel Soloy’s Fiesta Casino so great is the karaoke! The locals love it! They get up on the stage and sing and dance, some Spanish songs and some American songs, which makes it even more hilarious!

The crowd at the Fiesta Casino is looser and more laid-back than at other Casinos. Part of this has to do with the hotel’s location; it is located in Zona 4, and is very accessible for locals to come hang out Read more

The Casino Caribe is open from 9 am to 2 am, and is located right in the center of the city, which makes it quite convenient. That isn’t to say, however, that it is your best choice in Casinos. The area is a little rough, and the company can be a little seedy.

The Gambling Gringo does need to sound the warning to other gringos out there; watch what is going on, and don’t let the fact that no one is speaking English throw you off. If something goes awry, and you feel cheated, protest! We had a Panamanian place money on our Blackjack square, and when Read more
