The gambling markets in South and Central America have so far largely been uncharted territory on the strategic maps of many global gambling companies. But as the global market environments and regulations change rapidly, more and more also turn to alternative gambling markets beyond the traditional key markets in the US and Europe.

The report, which is published by Divine Works with MECN acting as re-seller, was researched between Q1 2005 and Q2 2007 and offers a comprehensive country-by-country analysis, and in particular the opportunities available in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.

The Latin American region has 33 countries with a total population of around 550 million. Some highlights from the report show a market size of between US$80billion and US$100 billion for both legal and illegal gambling.

The key markets are: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. These are considered the most prolific gambling countries in the region, where slot machines, casinos, horse race betting, lotteries, bingo, and Internet gambling entertain millions of people each day.
