We are sailing on the Carnival Sunshine in April. We are hoping to find a land casino while we are in San Juan. Preferably one we can walk to.

There aren't ay casinos within walking distance. The closest casino is at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort and Casino, a short taxi or Uber ride away. Note that this is NOT the Sheraton Old San Juan that is across the street from the Old San Juan cruise piers. It's a separate Sheraton hotel near the convention center about 2 1/2 miles away.

If you want some old school gaming the casino in the Fairmont El San Juan is a favorite-- wood paneling, chandeliers, etc. The adjacent Chandelier Bar as you walk is was always a good time. You'll need to Uber from old town like you would for any casino. 

 

The casino at the Ritz Carlton right down the street was also a favorite but that hotel still has not reopened and doesn't look like it will any time soon.

Now that the casino is under the Foxwoods banner I wonder if it's changed a lot from what it used to be.

I saw that. At very least its still in the same space and it looks pretty much the same based on the website. Hopefully they didn't mess with it too much-- that was quite a scene back in the day.

There is a casino at La Concha Renaissance.  You would have to taxi or uber there, but not far.      I just stayed there for a week.  They had $10 blackjack tables in the middle of the day.    Down the beach there was also a casino at the Marriott Stellaris.  Probably a similar drive timewise to the Sheraton as well.
