28 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN JANUARY 2021 UNT GAMING F eeling lucky? There is no better way to take advantage of the vibe than a visit to Treasure Hunt! The ultimate gaming destination, Treasure Hunt is a pirate wonderland nestled near the captivating coast of Montego Bay, with the most exciting casino floor in Jamaica. Treasure Hunt Gaming was formed in 2000 by Rudy de Backer and Stephane Vercruysse. The owners (both of European origin) were trying to fill a needed gap in the Jamaica Betting and Entertainment industry. Treasure Hunt first opened the doors in Ocho Rios in 2001, followed by a new branch in Kingston in 2006, and finally in Montego Bay in 2010. In 2013, the company decided to downsize and focus on the location with the most potential, which is Montego Bay. As a result, Treasure Hunt Ocho Rios was sold and the new owners renamed it “Reno”. Kingston was also sold shortly after but keeps the name Treasure Hunt. Lucky times ahead
