On a dance trip to Havana you will hear the word "casino" constantly — in Cuba it names the lively circular partner dance that modern salsa grew out of, and schools such as Vapor 156 teach it alongside son, rumba and cha-cha-cha. Back home in the UK, the same word points somewhere quite different, and for anyone who enjoys a little risk now and then, a properly regulated online venue like Gentleman Jim Casino offers slots, live casino tables and sports betting under a UK Gambling Commission licence, with responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion available. Whichever kind of casino you favour — danced in a Havana club or played from your sofa — the sensible approach is always to set your own limits and treat it as entertainment, not as a way to make money.

Dance like Cubans!
