It is the establishment with the highest ranking and international standards in the Guatemalan market.

An international casino in the largest mall on the Roosevelt corridor

Galerías Primma is one of the highest-traffic shopping centers on the Calzada Roosevelt corridor, with stores, restaurants, cinemas and a children's entertainment center making the mall a family destination. Guatemala Princess Casino operates within the complex with a machine floor featuring video slots, Multi-Game Gaminator, Cobra Gaminator, video poker, multi-hand poker, electronic keno and latin bingo, connected to multi-jackpot systems including the Mystery Jackpot with three prize levels triggered randomly. The 17 live gaming tables offer American roulette, blackjack and poker variants including Russian Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. The exclusive VIP room features high-limit machines and private tables, with weekly live music events, daily draws and special monthly promotions.

Guatemala's gaming regulatory framework

Guatemala has one of Latin America's most atypical gaming regulatory frameworks: Article 477 of the Penal Code technically sanctions the exploitation of games of chance, but in practice casinos operate under Ministerial Agreement 54 of 2015 from the Ministry of Interior, which attempted to regulate them in a tourist context without creating a formal licensing system. The result is an active market of around ten casino establishments operating in a legal vacuum that the government tolerates. Princess Casino, as an establishment of an international operator with global compliance standards, is one of the most transparent and highest-service-standard casinos in the Guatemalan market.
