2) Where is it all and how to plan a visit
Pedestrian and "shopping" -logistics. Casino Del Este is directly in Shopping del Este, within walking distance of the Brazilian border; it is convenient to combine game and purchases.
Resort format by the river. Acaray is a full-fledged casino hotel with views of Parana, pool and spa; good for a "weekend" or family holiday with a game night option.
Distances to Friendship Bridge. Acaray Resort to Bridge Hub and Commercial Center is a short drive away; many aggregators indicate proximity to the bridge (≈1 -1.5 km to the crossing).
3) Suggested games and features
Slots and electronic tables are the main array in city halls (Casino Del Este, local sites).
Live tables (roulette/blackjack/poker) - Acaray focus; Acaray has dozens of tables and ~ 200 slots in industry catalogs (reference book rating). Check the current pool of games before the visit.
4) Legal context (briefly and in the case)
The operation of games in Paraguay is allowed only under the authorization/concession CONAJZAR, the regulator has been operating in the DNIT circuit since 2025 (Ley Nº 7438/2025 + Decreto Nº 3846/2025).
The sections "CONAJZAR" and "Marco Jurídico" (law 1016/1997, decree 6206/1999, extension 3083/2015, etc.) are available on the state portal - the current norms/resolutions are published there.
5) Practical Tips (2025)
1. Age and documents. Entry 18 +; take passport/ID. This is the general access mode for the gambling halls of the country. (Follow the rules published by CONAJZAR/DNIT.)
2. Watch and dress code. Check on the official pages and cards of the sites/shopping centers - the modes can change (Acaray has a resort format, Casino Del Este has a shopping center schedule).
3. Transport and security. In the evening, taxis/applications are convenient; Shopping del Este has parking.
4. Combo with tourist. Ciudad del Este - base for trips to Itaipa and Iguas; plan the game as part of a busy itinerary.
5. Responsible play. Define budget limits in advance; comply with local rules and do not use illegal sites - the regulator has intensified the fight against "clandestino" in 2025.
Ciudad del Este has two "anchors" for guests: Hotel Casino Acaray (a full-service resort format with tables) and Casino Del Este (a convenient room right in the shopping center near the border). A number of smaller local halls complement the picture. Choose a site for your scenario - "weekend resort at Paraná" or "shopping + quick game visit" - and focus on the current CONAJZAR/DNIT rules and schedules for specific halls.
