Casinos in Peru
Peru offers one of the largest concentrations of casinos in all of South America. At last count, there were more than 50 casinos spread across the country. Many of these are open 24 hours a day. Not all casinos offer table games – some just have slots – but even these 'small' casinos have hundreds of gaming machines on offer. The largest casino in Peru is the Sheriton Lima Casino in the country’s capital. It offers 220 slots, and a huge array of 40 table games. Lima houses a large percentage of Peru's casinos, but gambling houses can be found even in some of the country's smaller towns. Casino style gambling in Peru is very popular, and is second only to the nation's lottery, which is the most popular form of gambling in Peru.

Online Casinos in Peru
In February 2008, the first online gambling website in Peru was established. Since then, more sites have begun to open, and the industry is quickly growing. Mobile gaming is also available in Peru as of April 2009, but so far, this just covers the national lottery. So far, there are not very many online casinos in Peru, but fortunately players have access to a huge variety of foreign online casinos as well. These sites are hosted in countries all around the world where online gambling is legal. Many of these online gambling sites are international in character, and are happy to accept players from Peru. They offer a wide range of casino games and tournaments. Peruvian online gambling industry is growing, but until it matures, there are plenty of internet casinos to choose from.
