Casino de Juegos de Arica, Gambling establishment in Arica, Chile

Casino de Juegos de Arica occupied a building beside Parque Brasil, near the coast, after moving there on 26 June 1963. It was remodeled from 2001 under Casino Puerta Norte S.A., with three restaurants, three bars, an events centre, 360 slot machines and 9 gaming tables.

The establishment first opened in 1960 at the Hosteria Arica before moving to its current location near Brasil Park in 1963. It operated for over 60 years until closing in 2022 with plans to become a cultural center.

The casino was owned by the municipality of Arica and run under concession by Casino Puerta Norte S.A. from 2001, when a large investment in infrastructure and equipment led to a full interior and exterior remodelling with new decoration in the style of international casinos. Its name, Casino Municipal de Juegos, reflected that public ownership.

The building is located on Avenida General Velasquez and is accessible to visitors in the city. Access was typically available during evening and nighttime hours with an entrance fee required.

The casino was owned by the municipality of Arica, not a private chain, and its 2001 concession to Casino Puerta Norte S.A. brought a full interior and exterior remodelling with three restaurants, three bars and an events centre. After the Supreme Court reversed an appeal ruling in June 2022, the mayor Gerardo Espíndola suggested the building could become a cultural centre.
