Casinos could return to Cuba

CUBA -- Cuba historically had 13 casinos and speculation has already began with the thaw in US-Cuba relations on how soon they might return, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

Casino executives in the US are likely already salivating at the prospects since Cuba was historically considered a diamond for US gamblers, the report said.

Fidel Castro abolished casinos in 1959, but it could take a decade to reestablish an industry in Cuba, the Sun-Sentinel report said.
