Jamaica was never known for gambling, but with the approval by the government on casinos here in 2015 this may change pretty soon.
And although we currently don't have the type of casinos that you may have come to expect of, say in the US, the few we have do provide exciting and fulfilling entertainment!

Should Jamaica have Legalized Casino Gaming?
The government recently approved casino gaming in Jamaica. But while it brought some celebration from the business sector, the government came under fire from other social institutions- primarily the church.
Admittedly, there are solid arguments on both sides. Both what's your take?

HISTORY OF THE JAMAICA PEGASUS HOTEL[edit]
Pegasus Hotels of Jamaica Limited owners and operators of Jamaica Pegasus Hotel was incorporated on June 19, 1968. It started out as a joint venture between British Overseas Airways Corporation (now British Airways), Trusthouse Forte and the People of Jamaica through the Jamaica Stock Exchange.
By Agreements dated October 25, 1968 British Airways Associated Companies Limited, Trusthouse International Limited and International Finance Corporation subscribed further share capital and International Finance Corporation and Barclays Bank International provided further loans. By Management Agreement dated October 25, 1968 the company appointed Forte (Holdings) Limited as manager of the hotel for an initial term of seven years commencing April 15, 1973 and a further fourteen years commencing April 15, 1980.
The hotel was partially opened from May 5 to 11, 1973 to accommodate the Inter American Development Bank Convention and commenced full trading on July 7, 1973. It was officially opened by the Hon. David Coore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Planning on September 5, 1973.
By Memorandum dated April 8, 1976, signed by all parties thereto, the Government of Jamaica agreed to purchase the shareholdings of British Airways Associated Companies Limited and Trusthouse Forte International Limited. On April 15, 1980 the company became a subsidiary of National Hotels and Properties Limited when the latter acquired 59.8% of the ordinary stock units. National Hotels and Properties is a wholly owned subsidiary of Urban Development Corporation which is owned by the Government of Jamaica.
By a Management Agreement dated May 30, 1994, Forte (UK) Limited was responsible for the management of the hotel.

The agreement was for a period of five years commencing on April 1, 1997, with an option to continue for a further term of five years, subject to certain performance criteria being met.
