Go ahead and plan that last trip to the fronton. In late November, the Casino @ Dania Beach will be ending its jai alai operation.

The casino confirms that this jai alai season will be its last, with the final games scheduled for Nov. 28.

Dania Beach has hosted jai alai for the past 69 years and is one of the last facilities in the country hosting the gambling-driven game. (Magic City Casino and Casino Miami are among the others.)

β€œIt is with a heavy heart that we say a fond farewell to the sport of Jai-Alai in Dania Beach,” Arnaldo Suarez, CEO of The Casino @ Dania Beach, said in a statement.
