The general deficiency in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense more or less puzzling, in one way or another.
In years gone by, the country was a place where numerous South Africans would drop by to flee from the extremely restricting policies on betting (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. Hence, you may expect something of an expanding business to satisfy that tourist trade.
But, perhaps it isn’t considerably an astonishment. The country is truly the most pauperized over the world, having gone through a horrible civil war (followed by damaging floods) from which it is still, very slowly, getting back on its feet. This can make a spot less of a tourist focal point, although there is currently a inviting setting along various of the city’s breathtaking beaches.
It is in addition valid that regionally at least, casinos in Mozambique have had to cross with others in the lately liberalized South Africa, including the well-known Sun City founded by the Kerzner family corporation.
Here is a list of Casinos in Mozambique:
Maputo: Polana Casino Hotel
There are 78 slot machines and also video poker games, five tables of American roulette, four blackjack tables, in addition 1 poker table.
Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino
There are forty slot machines, American roulette, and 2 tables for poker and also punto banco.
It is thought that over time the total tourism business in Mozambique will flourish adequately. While the local languages are, evidently, African, there is also the balance of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the fresh and growing inception of English, both from South Africa and as part of the worldwide phenomenon. The country is very cheap (evidently, as it is extremely poor) and as above, has some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the sorts of things that make tourism authorities drool, and as the country climbs out of its existent slump, it’s likely that not only will tourism develop, but that the list of casinos in Mozambique will grow longer also.
While the country is not likely to ever replenish its character as a location for partying South Africans, as there are now other alternatives closer to home for them to engross in, the growth of a long distance tourism business is being arranged. This would be to serve Europeans looking forward to winter sun, as a getaway from the distress of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Additionally, also, the greatest prawns (shrimp) around the world come from just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
