Default Poker in Peru

I will be visiting Lima, Peru this week and I know there are casinos there. According to this site some of the casinos spread poker. Does anyone have any experience playing poker in Peru or have any other information such as the rake, type of games spread, poker customs, common stakes, etc?
Also, I am 18 but I'm assuming that that isn't an issue there.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also if anyone knows how to say bet, call, raise and check and such in Spanish that would be great too, I know some Spanish but not that and the online translators might not have the right word.

I didn't bother going to a casino when I was there for 2 weeks but I can tell you that in Peru you do need to be somewhat careful and mindful of what's going on around you.

If you're a white dude then you will be somewhat noticeable as a tourist which means you have money and thus could be targeted more easily for robbery or kidnapping.
Obviously it's nothing to be super-duper paranoid about but it does happen. Not knowing any spanish is also a disadvantage.
