Readers heavily in favour of legalised gambling in Cayman Islands

A total of 606 readers voted in the poll using internet devices located in the Cayman Islands, of which 305 (50.3 %) were in favour of legalising both casinos and a national lottery; 165 (27.2 %) were in favour of a national lottery only; 33 (5.4 percent) supported casinos only; 101 (16.7 %) were opposed to legalising gambling; and 2 (0.3 percent) didn’t know.

In summary, 503 readers (83.0 %) supported legalising gambling in some form: a national lottery, casinos, or both. One reader, Gina, commented: “My suggestion would be to have offshore gambling using one or two of the cruise lines’ older ships stationed in Cayman and running from Cayman to Cuba and Roatán.”

Another reader, Marva, said: “Yes, I think gambling in the form of a National Lottery should be legalised in the Cayman Islands as this can help assist us in a fast turnover based on our financial crisis. I do not agree with casino gambling as I feel this will lead to the increase of crime.”
