We do San Juan, Puerto Rico almost every December. There are 5+ casinos in the San Juan area. The Ritz is the largest, one of my favorites (and also the newest) is the casino at La Concha.
Table limits are always low ($5 tables always available), table maxes are also limited (say $5 to $300 or $25 to $1000 at dice).
Video Poker is universally awful, but is readily available at the 25cent denomination. (games like 6/5 JoB).
AFAIK, the best casinos in the caribbean are in Puerto Rico, Aruba and Bahamas (Atlantis). Gaming currently, is mostly an after thought in the Caribbean; since the expansion of gaming in the United States.
Quite frankly, if you are 'really' interested in gambling, you are best off sticking to the larger casino properties in the continental United States. Most of these locations are an extreme disappointment.
In any case, I do enjoy my very limited gaming at La Concha, the Conrad, and the San Juan Marriott every year.
