Mozambique Casinos

by Rory on December 9th, 2009

The basic shortage in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense rather questionable, in one way or another.

In years gone by, the country was a place where plenty of South Africans would vacation to flee from the exceptionally restricting regulations on gambling (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. For these reasons, you might count on a aura of a thriving area to accommodate that tourist industry.

At the same time, perhaps it is not considerably a surprise. The area is truly the most pauperized on the globe, having been through a distressing civil war (followed by destructive floods) from which it is still, very slowly, coming around. This tends to make a location much less of a tourist target, even though there is at the moment a favorable setting along a few of the territory’s captivating beaches.

It is in addition credible that regionally at least, Mozambique’s casinos have had to contend with casinos in the recently liberalized South Africa, which comprises of the prominent Sun City founded by the Kerzner family organization.

Here is a list of Mozambique’s casinos:

Maputo: Polana Casino Hotel

There are 78 slot machines and video poker games, five tables of American roulette, 4 blackjack tables, as well as one poker table.

Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino

There are 40 slot machines, American roulette, and also two tables for poker and also punto banco.

It is thought that over time the total tourism industry in Mozambique will thrive adequately. While the local languages are, obviously, African, there is also the balance of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the new and developing awakening of English, both from South Africa and as part of the worldly phenomenon. The country is quite cheap (obviously, as it is extremely poor) and as above, has some of the most attractive beaches in the world, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the combination of things that make tourism agents drool, and as the country ascends out of its arrived at slump, it is likely that not only will tourism grow, but that the list of casinos in Mozambique will grow longer for sure.

While the country is unlikely to ever regain its distinction as a destination for partying South Africans, as there are now other alternatives closer to home for them to engross in, the expansion of a long distance tourism sector is being planned. This would be to serve Europeans wanting winter sun, as an escape from the distress of the Northern Hemisphere winter. And, obviously, the greatest prawns (shrimp) in the world are just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
