Casino Diamante is a casino in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, not in Punta Cana. There is no current listing for a standalone casino called Casino Diamante Punta Cana Grand, so visitors staying in Punta Cana should look at the resort casinos in the Bávaro area instead. This page explains what to expect and where to go.

Where Casino Diamante is
Travel and casino directories place Casino Diamante in Santo Domingo, but they disagree on its exact address, hotel connection and game count. Santo Domingo is on the south coast, a long drive from Punta Cana on the eastern tip, so a visit is a separate trip rather than an evening out from a Punta Cana resort.
Because listings for the casino conflict, confirm its address, hours and games directly with the casino or your hotel before you go.
Casinos in Punta Cana
If you are staying in Punta Cana, the casinos are mostly inside the large all-inclusive resorts around Bávaro. Resorts with casinos include:

Access rules for people not staying at a resort vary, so ask the resort before you plan around a casino visit. Our Dominican Republic casino guide covers the country’s gambling rules and its main casino areas, and you can also read our pages on Breathless Punta Cana and Avalon.
Gambling rules in the Dominican Republic
Casinos are legal in the Dominican Republic and are found mainly in hotels and resorts. Law 86-26, promulgated in September 2026, sets new licensing rules and taxes for casinos, slot machines, online gaming, lotteries, sports betting outlets and bingo. It puts a new regulator, the Dirección General de Juegos de Azar, in charge and creates a national self-exclusion registry. Bring a passport or other photo ID when you visit a casino.
Before you sit down at a table, it helps to know the games. Our guides to Caribbean Stud Poker and Three Card Poker cover two table games often found in Caribbean casinos. If you play roulette, check whether the wheel has a single zero or a double zero; our guide on how to play roulette explains why that matters.
