SummaryResumen
The Daily Record reported on the Dominican government's promotion of legalized casino gambling in Ciudad Trujillo, Boca Chica, and San Cristobal to capture American tourism dollars. Dominican operators rejected overtures from U.S. criminal syndicates, instead hiring American and French professionals to run gaming tables and train local staff in a dedicated croupier school. Despite importing equipment and employing 138 foreign specialists, the capital's casinos experienced modest January revenues after suffering heavy payouts to visiting gamblers.
