History of casinos in Peru

The history of gaming in Peru has its roots in early 20th century Lima gaming halls, when the Peruvian capital began receiving international tourism influences. The gaming legal framework was consolidated with Legislative Decree 523 of 1988, which regulated casino games and slot machines in the country for the first time. Subsequently, Law 27153 of 1999 and its amendments established the current legal regime, defining authorization requirements, player return percentages and establishment operating conditions. Peru experienced a boom in informal slot hall openings in the 2000s that forced the State to intensify oversight, making the gaming sector one of the most regulated in the Peruvian economy today.

Regulation: MINCETUR and the DGJCMT

In Peru, physical gaming is regulated by the Directorate General of Casino Games and Slot Machines (DGJCMT), under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR). The choice of MINCETUR as gaming oversight body, rather than the Ministry of Economy or Interior as in other countries, reflects the Peruvian conception of the casino as a tourist attraction complementary to the hotel and entertainment offering. Casino operators in Peru must comply with Law 29907 of 2012 on responsible gaming and Law 27153 as amended by Law 27796, establishing minimum player return percentages on slot machines and establishment infrastructure requirements.

Golden Palace Casino in San Isidro, opened in 1995 with more than 900 slot machines, was the first Lima casino to reach that scale and remains one of the most recognized in the financial district. In the country interior, Casino Dreams Arequipa is the largest in southern Peru, and Casino Royal Inca Cusco serves the international tourism visiting the Inca capital. Northern coastal cities, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Piura, have their reference casinos integrated into regional chain hotels.

Gaming tourism and market profile

Gaming tourism in Peru is linked to business and cultural tourism in Lima: visitors from Argentina, Chile and Brazil arriving in Lima for gastronomic tourism, Lima being Latin America gastronomic capital with restaurants like Central and Maido in the world top 50, complement their visit with gaming at Miraflores and San Isidro casinos. Gaming in Peru has low international operator presence outside CIRSA, with the market dominated by independent national operators.
