CAI opens sixth South American casino
Casinos Austria International celebrated the opening of its newest casino, the Gran Casino Los Angeles, in Chile last month.

The casino features 10 gaming tables—four American roulette, two Caribbean poker, two blackjack, one punto banco, one Mini Craps—and 200 slot machines. A 40-seat bingo room completes the gaming offerings.

The casino also has a restaurant that serves local and Mediterranean dishes, and a bar. A 90-room, five-star hotel with spa facilities and a conference center for up to 500 persons is scheduled to open at the start of 2009.

“We are very excited about our new casino,” said Gabriel Benvenuto, general manager of Gran Casino Los Angeles. “With its original woodwork and modern, spacious design, Gran Casino Los Angeles is a great new attraction in the heart of the city.”

This is CAI’s sixth casino in South America and the company’s first in Chile. CAI is involved with five casinos in Argentina.
