Gambling in Costa Rica
Casinos are always a hit when you are on a vacation and usually Casino growers can never get enough. Costa Rica is called the rich coast usually because of the amount of biodiversity but it works for casinos too. It certainly isn’t as big of an attraction as Panama but you will find a decent amount of Casinos. More than likely you won’t find a casino on its own it’s more like a hotel adjoined to a small casino.
The Casinos here have about 10-20 percent of the slots being used at any time but this all depends on times and locations. Table games are a different story, normally they are not busy at all. Because of the legality of prostitution in Costa Rica, you will find the odd casino that promotes it. Although many prefer not to. My Costa Rica does not promote such a business and we certainly do not recommend these Casinos.
Most Casinos will deal with both local currency and American money. The local currency is Colones and exchanges for roughly 500 Colones per 1 American dollar although fluctuating up and down all the time.
