Casino de Pucón, Entertainment complex in Pucón, Chile.
Casino de Pucón is an entertainment complex located in the heart of Pucón, featuring gaming tables, slot machines, and recreational facilities for visitors. The building sits close to Lake Villarrica and includes multiple restaurants and bars within its premises.
The venue opened in 1990 as part of efforts to develop tourism infrastructure in the region. A major fire in 2007 nearly destroyed the building, but it was quickly reconstructed and reopened with improved facilities.
The casino is owned by the municipality of Pucón and has been operated under concession since 1990, first by Carlos Urzúa de la Magiora and from 1995 by the Martínez family's company, renamed Enjoy in 2005. Its gaming rooms sit at the eastern edge of the town's plaza, a short walk from the beach and the Gran Hotel Pucón.
The casino stands on the block just south of Pucón's main square, a short walk from the town centre and about a block from the Gran Hotel Pucón. The former Hotel del Lago site, next to the old location, is now a car park. Visitors reach it on foot from the plaza along the lakeside streets.
Following a major fire in 2007, the building was completely rebuilt in less than four months. This rapid reconstruction made the casino a notable example of local determination and investment in the region.
