Does "Casino" imply gambling, es que decir, juegos de azar?

Yes, talking about games of chance

ca·si·no/kəˈsēnō/
Noun: A public room or building where gambling games are played.

Looking at the current casinos in Mexico , Caliente, Big Bola, and PlayCity, the games of chance are slot machines. Blackjack, roulette, Texas Holdem, etc. are available but seldom played. Sport booking is available also, but still far behind the slots.

There has been a gambling Casino in Ajijic for close to two years.

I read the second link, and it includes a stunning assertion. If I read it correctly, it says that in the recent past 80 percent of real estate transactions in the area involve Canadians and Americans, with the remainder being Mexican.

I wonder about that.

I read that too and wondered. My logic was that this may have been true of the GIL listings but I have a feeling that it wasn't necessarily true of the private sales not involving agents. Just my theory.
