The Casino Gaming Commission (CGC) in Jamaica has partnered with overseas bodies and international regulators to train its staff on casino operations and game mechanics. [^1]

Regulators must be able to distinguish ordinary play from manipulation or cheating in table games like roulette and blackjack, which requires understanding how they are played. [^2]

By September 2026, Hajal's Thoroughbreds reported a ballpark 250 horses flown to Jamaica since 2023, starting with the importation of 10 Canada-bred fillies. [^3]

Clarke described the removal of the General Consumption Tax on the importation of live horses as an investment in thoroughbred racing that was expected to multiply government coffers over time. [^4]

In May 2023, then-Jamaica Finance Minister Nigel Clarke addressed the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association of Jamaica, stating he was very interested in the sustainable development of the horse-racing industry. [^5]

The author suggests that the government should reinvest some of the $750 million taken in annually by the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Commission and Jamaica Racing Commission into prize money. [^6]
