The basic lack in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in 1 sense somewhat questionable, in one way or another.
In past times, the city was a spot where lots of South Africans would visit to get away from the incredibly prohibitory regulations on casino gambling (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. As a result, you would count on somewhat of a developing business to serve that tourist business.
At the same time, perhaps it isn’t much of an amazement. The city is one of the most deficient world wide, having gone through a horrifying civil war (followed by damaging floods) from which it is still, very slowly, recovering. This might make a spot much less of a tourist prospect, though there is today a flourishing scene along various of the city’s captivating beaches.
It is too true that regionally at a minimum, Mozambique’s casinos have had to contend with many others in the newly liberalized South Africa, including the prominent Sun City founded by the Kerzner family management.
Here’s a list of Casinos in Mozambique:
Maputo: Polana Casino Hotel
There are seventy-eight slot machines and video poker games, 5 tables of American roulette, four blackjack tables, and a poker table.
Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino
There are forty slot machines, American roulette, as well as 2 tables for poker and also punto banco.
It is thought that over time the full tourism sector in Mozambique will grow conclusively. While the local languages are, obviously, African, there is at the same time the fraction of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the fresh and accelerating awakening of English, both from South Africa and as part of the world-wide phenomenon. The country is quite cheap (naturally, as it is very poor) and as above, has some of the most outstanding beaches worldwide, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the sorts of assets that make tourism executives drool, and as the country climbs out of its existing slump, it is likely that not only will tourism blossom, but that the list of casinos in Mozambique will grow longer also.
While the country is skeptical to ever reinstate its image as a focal point for partying South Africans, as there are now other alternatives closer to home for them to indulge in, the advancement of a long distance tourism industry is being outlined. This would be to cater to Europeans wanting winter sun, as a getaway from the dreariness of the Northern Hemisphere winter. And, also, the finest prawns (shrimp) in the world derive from just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
