The Senate on Friday (April 17) approved the Casino Gaming (General) Regulations, 2025, which will play a critical role in bringing Jamaica’s casino gaming industry to life.
The Regulations were made by the Casino Gaming Commission pursuant to the powers granted under Section 72 of the Casino Gaming Act 2010.
They set out the foundational rules for the Commission’s administrative processes, licensee obligations, record-keeping and reporting, regulatory fees and procedures, inspection and enforcement powers, and general standards to ensure the industry operates in an orderly and transparent manner.
In piloting the regulations, Leader of Government Business and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator the Hon. Kamina Johnson Smith, said they will safeguard the well-being of patrons and the integrity of operations to protect Jamaica’s reputation and meet international standards for financial crime prevention.
