We give arithmetic characterizations which allow us to determine algorithmically when the semigroup ring associated to a simplicial affine semigroup is Cohen-Macaulay and/or Gorenstein. These characterizations are then used to provide information about presentations of this kind of semigroup and, in particular, to obtain bounds for the cardinality of their minimal presentations. Finally, we show that these bounds are reached for semigroups with maximal codimension.
