The country of Peru in South America has a wealth of historical and archaeological sites of interest, as well as the attraction of legalized gambling that includes horse racing, pari-mutuel betting, and cas. With 48 ca facilities, Peru is a popular destination in Central and South America for tourists and gamblers alike. Peru cas have the familiar table games of blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker, as well as at least 100 slot and gaming machines in each gambling facility. While smoking is still permitted on the main ca floor, recent additions of non-smoking rooms for poker players have further enhanced the appeal of several Peru cas.

Lima, the capital of Peru, has two cas, the Majestic at the J. W. Marriott Hotel, and the larger of the two, the Sheraton Lima Hotel & ca, with 221 slots and 40 table games. Eight of the 24 cities in Peru with cas can be found in Miraflores, an upscale suburban area of Lima. The largest of the Peru cas, the Atlantic City ca in Miraflores, has 500 slot and video gaming machines, with no table games. Other Peru cas in and around Miraflores include the Admiral Benavides, the Bellagio, La Hacienda ca, Mardi Gras, and Tropicana. The Admiral Benavides is open 24 hours, with 65 slots and one roulette table game. La Hacienda has 236 slots and four table games, while the Mardi Gras and Tropicana only offer slot machines.

In addition, there are several cas with slot machines in the San Isidro suburb of Lima, including the Midas Palace and the Mandalay. The ca Delphines, also in San Isidro, has 214 slots and 18 table games, while the much larger ca Golden Palace has 1,000 slots and 31 table games including blackjack, pai gow, poker, craps, Let It Ride, roulette, and Punto Banco.

There are a number of other Peru cas, as well, including the Palacio Royal ca in Arequipa, the ca Premie in Barranco, with 75 slots and seven table games, and five smaller cas in San Borja that offer only slot and gaming machines. The majority of the Peru cas in various smaller cities and other suburbs of Lima including Huancayo, Huaral, Ica, Trujillo, Surquillo, and Comas only have slot machines.

cas, on an average, pay $28 million in annual gambling taxes to the state. Currently, Peru ca and slot machine owners are in contention with the government over unpaid gambling taxes in the amount of approximately $80 million.
