The Bermudan House of Assembly has approved new laws opening the island up for the introduction of three casinos, according to media reports.

No more than three casinos can be in operation at any one time, but the Casino Gaming Commission can choose more than three sites.

“The bill represents a significant and critical adjustment to our tourism product and Bermuda as a destination,” Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell said. “In the past 30 years, Bermuda has moved from a tourism industry leader to an industry outsider.”

The bill foresees casinos in the island’s hotels and doesn’t include a stand-alone gaming facility.
