Tales From South Florida
Gambling SoFla Style: Jai Alai, Cruises to Nowhere, and Old Time Casinos
The history of gambling in South Florida is as colorful as it is nostalgic. On this TALK Down Memory Lane, we dive into the world of smoky jai alai frontons, the thrill of betting on Joey and other players, and those unforgettable “cruises to nowhere” where the real destination was the blackjack table.
From Meyer Lansky and the mob’s early casinos in Hallandale, to the neon-lit days of the SeaEscape and SunCruz ships, all the way to the modern Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, South Florida has always been rolling the dice on chance, money, and dreams.
So, grab your chips, place your bets, and take a gamble with us on this episode of Tales From South Florida.
