The only types of gambling that are legal in Panama are horse racing, pari-mutuel betting, and cas. The majority of the Panama cas and gambling facilities are located downtown in Panama City, with 22 of the total 36 in the country. The largest ca in Panama City is the ca Majestic, with over 53,000 square feet of gambling space. The Majestic, open 24 hours seven days a week, features 39 table games and 978 gaming machines, video poker and slots. Among the other popular cas located in Panama City are in the Hotel Caesar Park, the Miramar Intercontinental, and the Hotel El Panama. The Crown ca in the Caesar Park Hotel is in a prime location, central to the business district and the historic attractions of old Panama. The Crown ca features table games of baccarat, blackjack, Caribbean Stud poker, Draw Poker, roulette, and craps, but no gaming machines. The Fiesta ca in the El Panama has a great atmosphere, with 320 gaming machines and 16 table games of blackjack, roulette, poker, and baccarat. There are several other smaller cas in Panama City, with gaming machines and a few table games, such as the ca International, the Fiesta in the Gran Hotel Soloy, and the ca in the Riande Granada Hotel.
