Casinos in Mozambique

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

The basic insufficiency in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in 1 sense kind of puzzling, in one way or another.

In years gone by, the area was a spot where several South Africans would check out to disappear from the exceptionally restrictive protocols on wagering (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. Hence, you could anticipate somewhat of an advancing sector to accommodate that tourist trade.

However, maybe it isn’t really a bewilderment. The area is evidently the most pauperized worldwide, having gone through a distressing civil war (followed by crushing floods) from which it is still, very slowly, getting back on its feet. This tends to make a region a lot less of a tourist destination, even though there is at the moment a flourishing view along a few of the city’s outstanding beaches.

It is in addition true that regionally at the very least, casinos in Mozambique have had to compete with many others in the newly liberalized South Africa, which is inclusive of the exemplary Sun City founded by the Kerzner family organization.

Here is a list of Mozambique’s casinos:

Maputo: Polana Casino Hotel

There are seventy eight slot machines and also video poker games, 5 tables of American roulette, four blackjack tables, along with one poker table.

Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino

There are forty slot machines, American roulette, and also 2 tables for poker as well as punto banco.

It is thought that over time the entire tourism business in Mozambique will grow productively. While the local languages are, obviously, African, there is also the portion of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the new and expanding origin of English, both from South Africa and as part of the world phenomenon. The country is distinctly cheap (clearly, as it is so poor) and as above, has some of the most beautiful beaches over the world, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the types of things that make tourism management drool, and as the country escalates out of its existent slump, it is likely that not only will tourism boost, but that the list of Mozambique’s casinos will grow longer for sure.

While the country is skeptical to ever recapture its disposition as a place for partying South Africans, as there are now other selections closer to home for them to relish in, the expansion of a long distance tourism sector is being set-up. This would be to accommodate Europeans seeking winter sun, as an escape from the distress of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Plus, evidently, the greatest prawns (shrimp) over the world come from just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
