Apparently, several Aruba casinos have closed during the pandemic. All three casinos were owned and operated by casino management companies separate from the hotel/resort in which they are located. The Cool Casino in the Riu Palace just closed due to outstanding debts. Other casinos which closed earlier include the Eagle Casino in the Eagle Aruba Beach Resort and the Excelsior in the Holiday Inn, although the Holiday Inn intends to reopen the casino itself at some point.

A new hotel on Palm Beach, the Radisson Blu is set to open. I do not know if they will have a casino, but it seems possible.
