One of Miami’s more central casinos, at least as far as staying in Miami City proper is concerned, Magic City Casino is notable for hosting Vegas-style slot machines. It’s also the only gambling hub in the immediate area to have craps and roulette tables that aren’t computerized. Magic City Casino has 800 slot machines to play but its main claim to fame is something few people would expect, unless you’re a native Floridian.
Following the ban on greyhound racing in 2020, Magic City poached University of Miami athletes to join its new jai alai teams. This sport, a team-based game that shares some similarities with racketball, albeit played with a wicker sling (a “cesta”), is arguably this Florida casino’s biggest attraction, due to its regular fixtures and high-speed play. Visitors don’t even need to watch the games to enjoy it – it’s possible to bet on each head-to-head game. This is a casino, after all.
