Introduction

In February, 2011, I spent six days in Panama City. While there, I visited most of the larger casinos and spent entirely too much time playing in the name of research. This article is about what I learned in regards to the gambling scene there.

According to lcb.org, there are 29 casinos in Panama City. Most are small slots-only affairs, but some are larger with table games. The casinos with table games are usually associated with a hotel. Unlike in Vegas, the casinos are more like amenities of the hotel, rather than the other way around. The players tend to bet small and can sit at the same table for hours. There is a more relaxed atmosphere in Panama casinos than in those in the U.S. In Panama, players seem to play for the social factor and to pass time, as opposed to in Vegas where excitement and winning seem to be what motivates most table game players.

Before getting into the games, here is some information about the general casino conditions and amenities in Panama City.

Food — There are not many restaurants directly associated with the casinos. Most hotels seem to outsource their casino to somebody else. The only food you might see in the casino is from a bar menu. There are often independent restaurants in other parts of the hotel or nearby. One interesting thing is I saw a lot of players eating full meals at the slots and table games. As I mentioned, players can spend many hours playing in the same spot, and hunger is not to get in the way. I speculate the meals come from the room service kitchen.

Drinks — Gambling and alcohol are not mixed as much in Panama as in the U.S. A beverage server will come around with a tray of soft drinks and beer once in a while, but it almost never happens that she will come by the tables with a notepad to take special requests. You may have to be a little forceful if you want something other than beer or soda. Most players seem content to just go with the flow and don't complain if they don't get served. As with a lot of things in Panama, it helps to be extra patient.

Dealers — There is not much chatter between players and dealer. The dealers pretty much just stand there and deal. Much like in Macau, the players seem to prefer it that way and don't talk to the dealers either. I tried to break the ice and speak to some dealers using my horrible Spanish, but they pretended to not understand me. To be honest, I can't blame them. I know just enough Spanish to be very annoying.

Smoking — There is a law prohibiting smoking in any public building in Panama, including casinos. As a non-smoker, I applaud Panama for this, and I hope one day the U.S. does the same.

Table game limits: The minimum is usually $3 or $5, and the maximum is usually $500. Some casinos had small high-limit rooms, which tended to start at a $25 minimum. For those who don't know, Panama conveniently uses the American dollar.

Comps — The casinos had player reward cards, just as in the U.S. However, it seemed to me the cards are primarily intended for machine players. Only at the Veneto casino was I ever asked if I had one as I played at the tables. At the Crown casino, I applied for a card and tried to offer it to the supervisor where I was playing, but he just ignored it.

Tipping — Neither the dealers nor cocktail waitresses expected tips, and they hardly ever received any. This is another thing I applaud Panama for. Gratuities are supposed to be just that, gratuitous, for service beyond the call of duty. I'm not saying you shouldn't tip in the U.S., but let's be honest about it, tipping here has become a misnomer — it's better termed 'mandatory service fee.'

Poker terminology fold. To not match the bet in the pot and to thus forfeit the hand. The player throws the hand into the muck and is out of the hand. You should fold when you think you will lose the hand. Learn more about Poker through our glossary. Now that you've decided to master the game of poker, in addition to a keen eye and bucket of confidence, you need to be able to talk the talk. Our comprehensive list of poker terminology.

Promotions — There were lots of promotions going on. For example, one casino paid 2-1 on blackjacks in diamonds at certain times. Another had a six-card Charlie rule. Both these rules gave the blackjack player a small advantage.

I could tell from the signage there were other special events, drawings and tournaments being promoted; however, all the wording was in Spanish, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Next, here are some comments about the availability and rules of specific games in Panama City.

Blackjack is king of the table games, accounting for about 50% of the tables. The rules are very consistent from casino to casino and are as follows:

Six decks, usually on a continuous shuffler.
Dealer hits soft 17
Dealer does not take a hole card, but player loses original bet only against a dealer blackjack.
Early surrender, except against an ace.
Double any two cards, and on 9-11 with three cards.
Double after split allowed.
Re-split any pair up to four hands, including aces.

The house edge under these rules is very low at 0.12% on a continuous shuffler or 0.14% without. I'm including in this article the basic strategy under Panamanian rules. Following is the basic strategy under Panamanian rules.
Roulette is the second most popular game by table count. All wheels are double-zero.

Craps is not very popular, with the larger casinos having one table open at peak hours only. The odds multiple was never posted, and I would have had great difficulty putting that question into Spanish. At the Veneto, where I found an English speaking supervisor, I was told the rule was 3-4-5X odds.

Canal 21 is a blackjack variant I saw in every major casino. However, only the Crown casino called it that; the other casinos renamed it after their own casino. For example, the Majestic casino called it 'Majestic 21.' I have heard of this game before. In the blackjack community, it is referred to as 'Canal 21,' so let's stick with that.

The rules are the same as in blackjack except:

Four decks are used.
Blackjack pays even money.
Suited three of a kind pays 20 to 1.
Unsuited three of a kind pays 3 to 1.
Suited 6-7-8 pays 5 to 1.
Unsuited 6-7-8 pays 3 to 1.
