St. Kitts is an island in the West Indies known for once being a sugar monoculture before pivoting to become a tourist hot spot. Saint Christopher, to give the island its official name, sits between the Caribbean Sea on one side and faces the Atlantic Ocean on the other, which is part of why it is such a desired place for holidaymakers to visit.
Whilst there, the obvious activities include the likes of soaking up the sun, swimming in the sea and scraping the sand off your feet, but many will always be happy to spend a little bit of time in the casino. That’s where Royal Beach Casino comes in, being the only full venue of its type on the island.
The Casino
Labelled by the company responsible for running it as ‘your one-stop gaming entertainment destination’, Royal Beach Casino promises excellent hospitality and charming staff looking to cater to your every need. As you might expect if you’ve been to virtually any casino anywhere in the world, there are a hood number of slot machines on offer for you to play. Offering nearly 300 games on the casino floor, you can opt to sit down and play one of the classic slot games, such as Triple Lucky Sevens and Bally Quick Hits, or you can look towards the more modern games. These include the likes of Deal or No Deal and Cleopatra and Phantom of the Opera.
Slots
There are also a number of different progressive slots on offer, so the likes of Wheel of Fortune or Royal Treasures are waiting for you bet. You can opt to wager anything from one cent to five dollars, so take a good look around and see which game looks like the right one for you. The main casino floor has a ceiling that looks like a blue sky with white fluffy clouds, so if you’re not careful you can soon get swept up in the playing and lose all sense of time. Of course, slot machines aren’t necessarily for everyone. If that is the bracket that you fit into then you need not worry, with plenty more on offer at Royal Beach Casino.

The sports book is a place where many people will want to head in order to place some wagers on everything from basketball to boxing, hockey through to football. If there is a sporting event taking place somewhere in the world then there is a very good chance that the sports book will have some betting lines on offer for you.
