PlayCity Casino Mérida for visitors
PlayCity Casino Mérida sits in Cordemex, opposite the Siglo XXI convention centre, in Mérida's northern suburbs. Hours: Sunday–Wednesday 9 am–4 am; Thursday–Saturday 9 am–5 am. Entry is free, you must be 18 with a government ID, and you cannot play without the venue's player card. When you cash out, about 7% is withheld in state and federal tax. This is an independent guide, not the casino's site; the Spanish library has every detail with a verification date.

What visitors get wrong
- A photo of your passport on your phone does not work; bring the physical document.
- Promotional credit on the player card cannot be withdrawn, only what you win with it.
- Foreign bank cards are often declined at the cashier as gambling charges; carry pesos.
- Uber and DiDi work in Mérida; order from inside the venue late at night.
Getting there
From the historic centre it is a 10–25 minute taxi or Uber ride north. Va-y-Ven buses run during the day, not late at night. Valet parking is available.
Cashing out, and the online alternative
At the cashier you present the player card and your ID; about 7% is withheld and you get a receipt. If you would rather have winnings paid to a bank account without a cashier, a Mexican-licensed online platform is the alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enter with a foreign passport?
Yes. A passport is valid ID for registration.

Do I need pesos?
Cash in pesos is safest; foreign cards are often declined for gambling charges.
