The island of Guadeloupe in the French West Indies is a department of France. With 687 square miles of land, it has 330,000 residents. Casino gaming appears to be a very small part of its tourism attractions. One gaming facility is located near the Meridien St. Francois and Hamak hotels and another on the grounds of the Hotel Arawak. The Gosier Beach Community also offers the Casino de Gosier Les Baines. The casinos do not have slot machines, and players must pay a fee to enter the gaming rooms.
