Casino Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina

About the casino

Casino Buenos Aires is the only licensed physical casino in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and one of the most unique gaming establishments in Latin America. Unlike conventional casinos, it does not operate in a building but aboard a historic Mississippi-style paddle wheel vessel permanently moored at the southern dock of Buenos Aires' old port, in the Puerto Madero neighborhood. This distinctive feature makes it one of the few floating casinos on the continent and a tourist destination in its own right, beyond its gaming offer.

A floating casino unique on the continent

The complex spreads across four floors with a total area of approximately 2,700 square meters and capacity for around 2,500 simultaneous guests, making it a large-scale operation by any vessel's standards.

Gaming offer and access from shore

The gaming floor houses 600 state-of-the-art slot machines and 100 gaming tables offering American and European roulette, blackjack, punto banco, poker in various formats and craps. Access to the vessel from shore is provided by a complimentary transfer departing every fifteen minutes from the corner of Córdoba Avenue and Leandro N. Alem Avenue, making it easy to reach from any point in the city center without a car. The on-board dining offer includes restaurant and bar options operating alongside the gaming floor, with views of the Río de la Plata that on summer evenings create an experience difficult to replicate in any other casino in the country.
