Casino Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo

The casino at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo combines two of Buenos Aires' most deeply rooted entertainment traditions: horse racing and electronic gaming. The racetrack was founded in 1882 and is the oldest and most important in Argentina, with capacity for tens of thousands of spectators and period architecture that makes it one of the most imposing buildings in the Palermo neighborhood. Within its facilities, the casino occupies four halls with state-of-the-art slot machines, including electronic roulettes and the latest video slots.

Racing and history: Argentina's oldest racetrack

The combination of the equestrian venue with the gaming floor creates a unique entertainment proposition in the city: on race days, visitors can alternate between the grandstands overlooking the oval where the horses run and the air-conditioned slot halls, making the Hipódromo a complete leisure experience spanning sport, gaming and gastronomy.

Major prizes and dining offer

The racetrack organizes around 120 horse racing meetings annually, spread throughout the year, with greater concentration in spring and autumn. The major prizes, such as the Gran Premio Nacional, the Gran Premio Jockey Club and the Gran Premio Internacional Carlos Pellegrini, bring together the leading thoroughbreds from South American racing and attract crowds that can exceed 20,000 people on race day. The dining offer within the grounds is varied and includes restaurants, cafeterias and bars spread across different sections of the grandstands.

Access and regulation

The location on Avenida del Libertador, one of the main arteries of northern Buenos Aires, facilitates access by car and public transport. The casino operates under the racetrack concession and is regulated by the Buenos Aires City Lottery (LOTBA).
