Top 3 Casinos To Check Out In Belize

Introduction

Tucked away on the northeastern coast of Central America is the stunning country of Belize. More than 700,000 tourists visit this country every year to enjoy the terrific weather, natural beauty, and the people’s way of life. However, some of these tourists are looking for the perfect gambling holiday.

Although Belize can’t be compared with the likes of Las Vegas as regards the abundance of casinos, it’s still an attractive gambling destination. In fact, you will find casino venues in almost every town and city across Belize. Here are the top three casinos you can check out.

1. Tropicana Casino

If you love playing casino games online, check out platincasino.co.uk. However, for the perfect land-based casino experience, you’d want to visit Tropicana Casino. The casino is located at Newtown Barracks Road in Belize City, an address that is home to many restaurants and nightclubs.

The goal of Tropicana Casino is to be the leading gambling, hospitality, and entertainment powerhouse in Belize. When you visit the casino, you will have the chance to sample classic table games such as roulette, poker, and blackjack. In addition, you will also find a dozen or so slot machines.

2. Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

Just as the name suggests, this casino offers a real Vegas experience. The building combines a 59-room hotel with the convenience of a casino and an outdoor pool. As if that’s not enough, you will enjoy free parking, free Wi-Fi, as well as access to a fitness center.

The casino section offers a wide variety of games. There are about 500 state-of-art slot machines and more than 20 table games. The table games include Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Bingo, and Poker. The casino’s slot machines offer one of the most generous payouts in Central America.

Conclusion

Although online gambling is the in-thing nowadays, gambling at a land-based casino still offers an unforgettable experience. If you have been thinking of a gambling holiday, then Belize should be your next destination. Though it has limited facilities, it can offer a welcome recess from a lot of sea and sand or from the secluded cruise-ship casinos.

The aforementioned casino venues will meet all your gambling needs if you visit Belize. Other popular establishments with casinos include Captain Morgan’s Retreat, Coco Beach Resort, and Black Orchid Resort. However, even as you gamble and enjoy yourself, make sure you do it safely and responsibly.

Lobster Season Opens

It is officially lobster season in Belize! Lobster season usually marks the official start of summertime in Belize with the usual lobster crawls and lobster fest celebrations.

This year, lobster season in Belize will run from July 1, 2021, to February 28, 2022. We take the opportunity to wish all Fishers a successful season.

Gentle Reminder of the Lobster Fishery Regulations:

  • The minimum carapace length is 3 inches
  • The minimum tail weight is 4 ounces
  • No person or establishment should have in possession any diced or fillet lobster
  • It is illegal to have any softshell (molting) Lobster or females with eggs (berried)

  • The closed season for Caribbean Spiny Lobster is March 1st to June 30th

Hurricane Elsa Forms in the Atlantic

Satellite imagery indicates that Elsa has become better organized, and radar data from Barbados and Martinique have shown attempts at eye formation. The formative northern eyewall passed over Barbados near 11-12Z, and hurricane-force winds were reported there at that time. The initial intensity is set at 65 kt based on those data. It should be noted that reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft suggest that the circulation is not well-developed at 700 mb, possible due to the rapid forward speed.

The initial motion is 290/25. There is little change to the forecast track or the forecast guidance since the last advisory. The guidance is in good agreement on a rapid west-northwestward notion to near the south coast of the Dominican Republic by 36 hr. After that, the general consensus is that Elsa should turn northward by 96 h through a weakness in the subtropical ridge created by a mid-latitude trough. However, the guidance is quite divergent around this consensus, with possible tracks ranging from a west-northwestward motion through the Yucatan Channel or western Cuba to a northward motion through the Bahamas. Thus, the latter portion of the track forecast remains low confidence.

The intensity forecast calls for a little more strengthening during the next 36 has Elsa moves through an environment of light westerly shear. After that, land interaction, along with less favorable upper-level winds over the Gulf of Mexico, is likely to cause weakening. The new NHC intensity forecast shows major adjustments from the previous forecasts based primarily on the initial intensity.

It should be noted that the average NHC track errors are 175 miles and 200 miles at days 4 and 5, respectively. Given the larger-than-normal uncertainty and because hazards will extend well away from the center of the storm, users are urged to not focus on the exact forecast points.

Key Messages:

Hurricane conditions are expected in the Hurricane Warning area in the Windward Islands for the next few hours. Tropical storm conditions are expected in other portions of the Windward and Leeward Islands. Hurricane conditions are expected in the Hurricane Warning area in Haiti on Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are expected with hurricane conditions possible along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and in Jamaica.

Heavy rainfall from Elsa will move quickly across the Windward and southern Leeward Islands today, including Barbados. Outer rain bands will impact Puerto Rico late today into Saturday, and southern Hispaniola and Jamaica Saturday into Sunday. Flooding and mudslides are possible.

There is an increasing risk of strong winds, storm surge and rainfall impacts in portions of Cuba this weekend and early next week, with impacts also possible in the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. Interests in these areas should monitor Elsa’s progress and updates to the forecast.

There is a risk of storm surge, wind, and rainfall impacts in the Florida Keys and portions of the Florida Peninsula early next week. However, the forecast uncertainty remains larger than usual due to Elsa’s potential interaction with the Greater Antilles this weekend. Interests in Florida should monitor Elsa’s progress and updates to the forecast.

      • Casino Workers
      • Pastors/Priests
    • If any of the above-mentioned workers refuse to be vaccinated they will be required to present a negative COVID test every two (2) weeks.

The Ministry of Health & Wellness Belize is calling on all persons 18 years and older to get vaccinated. The Ministry also reiterated that even after being vaccinated, you are still required to continue wearing a face mask properly in public, maintain consistent physical distancing, avoid social gatherings, and wash and/or sanitize hands often. Please be safe and stay at home unless conducting essential business.

Are CBD Products Worth the Fuss?

CBD products are part of popular wellness supplements in the world today. Some spas give cannabidiol facials and fashion companies have cream or lotion line that is infused with CBD. Everyone around you, from your anxiety-suffering colleague to your grandpa with arthritis, can use any of the cannabidiol products in the market.

Although their popularity is obvious, many people still wonder if these hemp-based products are worth the fuss. Below, we will discuss what CBD is, questions that arise about it, and the potential benefits that research and opinions show.

What Is CBD?

CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is a substance extracted from the cannabis plant, along with other substances known as cannabinoids. It is quite different from THC or tetrahydrocannabinol that is known to give a high effect on the body when digested. Cannabidiol hardly gets one high. It is non-psychoactive and relatively safe when ingested.

How Is This Compound Extracted?

The methods used for its extraction depend solely on which product the manufacturer wants. But the two main extraction methods are solvent and carbon dioxide extractions. With solvents, ethanol, hydrocarbon, and hexane are used. But due to a lack of purity and safety, this method is not encouraged.

Although it is a cheap and easy method, the resulting products may not reach the 100% quality mark. Carbon dioxide extractions are safe and will provide CBD of high quality. Therefore, it is the most used method in the industry. The extraction process leads to the production of the following types of CBD:

Full Spectrum: This type has all cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids extracted from the cannabis plant.

Broad Spectrum: This is produced just like full spectrum, except for the removal of one cannabinoid – tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Distillate: This cannabidiol is purified to expel the smell and flavor. It is commonly used in topicals and edibles.

Isolate: It is the purest type, and it is in a crystal or powder form.

Types of CBD Products

The product with high demand in this industry is the oils. It is a common ingredient in producing other products like gummies and creams. Here is a list of products in the industry:

  • Oils
  • Creams and lotions
  • Vapes
  • Gummies
  • Capsules or pills

To reach their ever-increasing market, the CBD industry continues to release new products that will meet their consumer’s needs and preferences.

If you find the oils bland and tasteless, you may prefer the pills as they are easy to swallow. If you want something sweet to chew, the gummies are perfectly healthy candies. For those who do not want to get ingest cannabidiol, creams or lotions would do. These topicals infused with CBD are effective in treating pains and inflammation.

Other new products under development in this industry are body rubs, bath bombs, and vapes or inhalers. These products have the potential to reach an extensive number of people, meeting their relaxation and wellness needs.

Are the Products Safe?

Yes, they are. But there are side effects that wear off within minutes. These side effects include:

  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Increase in blood pressure
  • Irritation
  • Dry mouth
  • Reduced or increased appetite
  • Increase or reduction in weight

The products may also react with some medications. Thus, before usage, it is advised to discuss with a doctor if you have underlying sicknesses. Another concern about cannabidiol is that there is no known dose to treat a particular health issue. Although some brands may write a guideline on how the dosing works, certain factors like body weight, height, and age can affect this.

Health Benefits of CBD Products

The results of researches made on cannabidiol products are promising. They are very effective in treating certain health issues.

1. Pain

When the oils and creams are applied to arthritic skin, it can reduce the inflammation and the pain the muscles cause. A recent study shows that the topicals provide relief for people who have peripheral neuropathy.

2. Mental Health Issues

The oils, capsules, and edibles have proven to be helpful in alleviating certain mental conditions such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. They have anxiolytic benefits and can reduce anxiety and depression. They do this by increasing the production of adenosine and serotonin hormones which help in regulating moods and promoting happiness.

3. Digestive Issues

The capsules and edibles are effective in treating digestive issues. Both products are known to digest from the stomach and so remain in the intestines for a while. They also help in treating diarrhea, some gastrointestinal diseases, and loss of appetite.

4. Cancer Side Effects

Although there is ongoing research on the use of cannabidiol to shrink tumor growth or kill cancer cells, there is no feasible evidence that it works in humans. But it can help in reducing the side effects caused by cancer treatments.

Chemotherapy reduces appetite and increases vomiting in cancer patients. Taking medications that contain CBD will reduce vomiting and increase appetite.

5. Difficulty in Sleeping

For those who find it hard to sleep at night or remain asleep, the oils or tinctures can help in calming their nerves and mind, thereby encouraging sleep. You can visit this website to read more about CBD and sleep.

6. Epilepsy

The only medically approved CBD drug is Epidolex. This medication can treat rare forms of epileptic in children – Dravet and Lennox-Grastaut syndrome. This drug has been helpful in treating seizure disorders.

7. Neurodegenerative Disorders

Due to the CBD’s antioxidant properties, it can help in managing neurodegenerative illnesses. These diseases include:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Parkinson’s syndrome
  • Huntington’s disease

8. Acne

Cannabidiol can reduce the production of sebum. This inhibits acne from forming, as the skin’s sebaceous glands are prevented from secreting too much sebum.

Conclusion

Before choosing one product over the other, keep in mind your needs, preferences, and circumstances. Ensure that whichever product you choose is safe and of standard quality. It is important to seek the advice of a medical practitioner before starting any product. So are CBD products worth the hype?  Make your deductions from all we have discussed.

Online Casinos in Belize: Legal Status, Laws, and Everything You Need to Know

Traveling around the world is the goal that we all have. However, it seems that many tourists consider Belize as one of the destinations they need to visit during their life. The reasons why people come to this place are various. They come to enjoy the nice weather, beautiful beaches, and entertaining nightlife. However, as we mentioned in one of our previous posts, one of the top things to do on vacation in Belize is gambling.

It is good for all the tourists that are gambling lovers to know that many gambling options are waiting for them. However, it would also be in their best interest to get familiar with the gambling laws of Belize. You are about to find out everything you should know.

Online and Land-Based Gambling Are 100% Legal

To make things clear, gambling is not something new in Belize. Believe it or not, this activity has been legal since 1981. In other words, gambling became legal immediately after Belize gained independence from Great Britain.

Logically, the laws have changed in the meantime together with the popularity growth of online gambling. The biggest changes were made in the period between 1995 and 2000 when the Belize authorities developed the so-called Computer Wagering Licensing Act. This Act officially became valid in 2004.

Many countries in the world started to provide local gambling companies the necessary licenses that allowed them to legally work in this industry. That is the reason the government of Belize decided to support the national economy by attracting foreign tourists to gamble.

Licenses Are Confirmation the Casino Is Legit

It is good to mention that there are three types of licenses that casinos can get. Those three types are – license for land-based casinos, gaming license for stationary one-armed bandits, and online casino licenses. All these documents confirm that a casino is 100% legit and safe for all the people.

If you like to hang out with people, then land-based casinos are probably going to be a better option for you. There are a few of them such as The Palace Casino, Captain Morgan’s Retreat, and others where you will get the chance to enjoy slots, poker, roulette, and other gambling games. On the other hand, if you are a type of person that needs silence when gambling, online casinos are a much better choice. According to experts from Bestcasinosites.net, there are many of them that deserve your attention, so you may want to check the best online casinos there. 

Local Can Enjoy Foreign Gambling Sites

It is important to mention that all the locals have the right to gamble at any offshore operator that operates online. However, as previously mentioned, the authorities also give licenses to some companies that work in the gambling industry. These online casinos are unavailable to the locals, and they are only available to the people that are not residents of Belize.

Rules that Online Operators Need to Respect

Well, getting a license is not as easy as it seems because there are rules that all operators need to respect. First of all, the casinos need to ensure a deposit in the Central Bank of Russia. That amount of money serves as protection in cases when casinos start to deal with debts. How much money the owners need to deposit depends on the type of license they are asking for. However, in cases when the bank accounts become empty, all the casinos that have the license need to report that to the responsible authorities. Hiding this piece of information will only speed up the process of license loss.

Another rule that casinos need to respect is related to payouts. The task of every casino that has the license is to pay out all the money that players earn as soon as possible without any delays. In the end, it is good to repeat that casinos that got the license from the Belize authorities can’t accept the peds from the residents.

You Can Gamble with Digital Currencies as Well

Before we end this article, we should inform you that Belize is also following the latest trends. All the crypto-based deposits are accepted. Despite Bitcoin, which is the most popular crypto in the world, players have the chance to gamble with Monero, Ethereum, and some other popular cryptos.

This is a good option for both sides. Casinos will reduce the fees that they have for each transaction which automatically allows them to offer better bonuses. On the other hand, if the players win, for instance, BTCs, their income can grow together with the value of the crypto.

Final Thought

Only in 2019, more than 1.7 people visited Belize, and you probably now understand why this place is so popular. Despite decent climate and beautiful weather, there are also many gambling options that people can use to test their luck and make their holiday even more entertaining.

Understanding the gambling laws in Belize is not quite difficult. You have the option to gamble in land-based casinos and online casinos as well. In case you want to start a gambling business, you can also get a license, but don’t forget that accepting bets from the residents is illegal. On the other hand, if you run an offshore gambling site, then you are free to accept those bets as well.

If you are ready to get on the other side and make your own casino, then the casino affiliate website for sale will help you with this.
