CIRSA Acquires Majority Stake in Slots del Sol

Paraguay.- 14 July 2026 www.zonadeazar.com CIRSA has acquired a majority stake in Slots del Sol, one of Paraguay’s leading omnichannel gaming operators. The transaction marks CIRSA’s entry into the Paraguayan market and strengthens its strategy to expand across regulated online gaming markets in Latin America.

News Details

The acquisition includes Slots del Sol Online, together with two land-based casinos and two gaming halls operated by the company in Paraguay. CIRSA stated that the transaction was financed through existing cash resources and will not materially affect the group’s financial leverage.

The deal forms part of CIRSA’s long-term acquisition strategy, with the group having completed more than 130 acquisitions since 2015. The company already operates in Peru, Colombia and Mexico, and now adds Paraguay to its portfolio of regulated Latin American markets.

Industry Context

CIRSA’s entry follows Paraguay’s gambling market liberalisation, which ended the country’s longstanding monopoly system and opened the sector to private operators. Paraguay recorded its highest-ever gaming revenue in 2025, reinforcing its position as one of Latin America’s fastest-growing regulated markets.

Statements

Joaquim Agut, Executive Chairman of CIRSA, said:

“Paraguay is an attractive and highly stable regulated market, with strong fundamentals.”

Chief Executive Officer Antonio Hostench added:

“Slots del Sol’s exceptional performance and outstanding online capabilities, combined with CIRSA’s global experience, will drive future growth and strengthen the profitability of our online business.”

Next Steps or Impact

The acquisition further strengthens CIRSA’s Latin American footprint and supports its post-IPO expansion strategy. Integrating Slots del Sol is expected to accelerate the group’s online growth while capitalising on Paraguay’s newly liberalised gaming market.
