Casino Jai Miami
Jai Alai is played on a three-walled court. Eight players or teams of two players play “round-robin” style to be the first to reach seven or nine points depending on the type of match. When a player or team scores, they remain on the court and play the next competitor. The non-scoring player or players go to the back of the line and wait for their next turn on the court.
Players take turns launching a goat-skin ball toward the front wall of the court. The opposing player or players must catch and return the ball with a wicker scoop, called a cesta, in one fluid motion while the ball is still airborne or shortly after the first bounce. Play continues until a player or team us unable to return the ball. When that happens, the other team scores.
Once a player or team has scored the seven or nine points required, the next highest score “places,” and the third highest “shows.”
- Jai-Alai is a centuries old sport from Basque country of Spain and France. Translated the words mean “Merry Festival.” Jai-Alai came to the United States in 1904 with the first permanent facility (“fronton”) opening in Florida in 1924.
