Chile's offline sector operates under Law No. 19. 995 overseen by Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego (SCJ).
According to SCJ, today there are 22 casinos in operation authorized by this law. Historically, some of the facilities originated as "municipal" casinos (Viña del Mar, Coquimbo, Puquón, Puerto Varas, Iquique, Arica, Puerto Natales); the state secured their location for decades with a separate law extending concessions. SCJ conducts contests/concession renewals and publishes statistics: for the first half of 2025, casinos under Law 19. 995 transferred 100.2 billion taxes to the CLP, and only 25 operating casinos in the country showed a CLP of 281.9 billion wins. As a result: a clear licensed network for SCJ, significant deductions to budgets and an established map of resort centers.
