Casino Resort

home to many casinos established by foreign business men looking
to take advantage of the gorgeous tropical location provided by
the island.

paradise.

president of the Trelawny Chamber of Commerce, is punching for the
government to approve the casino Resort proposed for Harmony Cove.
The property proposed would span for
1,400 acres to include the latest in casino game and slot-machine
technology.

lucrative addiction to the Jamaican Isle religious leaders are not
happy with the idea of permitting ground to be broken on yet

incredible size suggested.
Gambling is becoming an inherent part
of the Jamaican culture and is becoming an increasing concern of
the government as studies are being conducted to see whether or
not casinos have contributed to gambling addiction among citizens
in Jamaica.
Kingsley Thomas, the former head of
Development Bank of Jamaica and Harmonization Limited, believes
