Players can find machines from different developers in the gaming halls, such as Euro Games Technology (EGT), International Gaming Technology (IGT), WMS Gaming, SG Gaming or Video Poker Games, just to name a few. In Argentina, the legislation and supervision of games of chance are the responsibility of each province individually, so all regions have a body that authorizes gaming, betting and bingo halls.
The operating licenses are delivered to individual private companies, who are in charge of managing the establishments. For the authorization, each provincial body has its own regulations, but generally they request to exploit games of chance, that the company has a minimum capital, has all the tax documents up to date, that it is constituted in some type of company or specific company, as well as a certain number of partners or directors
Provinces with the most gambling halls in Argentina
According to data from the Argentine State Lotteries Association, the province with the most gaming halls is Misiones, followed by Buenos Aires, while La Pampa is the region with the fewest venues.
Some lounges are located in small hotels, but most are exclusive slots and electronic roulette establishments. In addition, several establishments have restaurants and all kinds of events are held, such as musical or comedy shows.
As far as access is concerned, the gaming halls do not have any dress code, but entry is allowed only for those over 18 years of age. Each gaming room has different hours, but they generally open in the afternoon and close at dawn, either at 3 or 4am.
While payments can be made in Argentine pesos with a credit or debit card, some places also accept dollars in cash.
