We were in Aruba in early November for 10 days. Having been there many times I got to know the Casino's. This year I found few of them improving, actually they are going backward. The Hyatt which use to be my favorite, now have fewer slots and are not updated with tickets. In a vacation like ours, I'd normally be there at least 5 times, this year it was one time and out. This was our group of three couple that the Hyatt lossed out on. The Occidental was another that has gone backwards. Downtown at the Crystal we spent most of our time waiting for staff to coming to our slot machines. They have old machines that kept on breaking down. We spent most of our Casino time at the Holiday Inn and the Marriott where they seemed to be trying to keep up with the times. I'm surprised with so many tourist going to Aruba(I Love the place) that thewy are not keeping up in this regard.
