The relative scarcity in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense somewhat questionable, in one way or another.
In recent years, the territory was a site where several South Africans would visit to get away from the exceptionally confining standards on games of chance (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. Hence, you could expect a aura of a flourishing business to cater to that tourist trade.
However, maybe it isn’t much of a discovery. The city is undeniably the most pauperized in the world, having been through a gruesome civil war (followed by devastating floods) from which it is still, very slowly, rebounding. This tends to make a region much less of a travel focal point, as much as there is currently a developing scene along a number of the state’s outstanding beaches.
It is also true that regionally at a minimum, casinos in Mozambique have had to cross with many others in the freshly liberalized South Africa, inclusive of the notable 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, five tables of American roulette, 4 blackjack tables, also 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 full tourism industry in Mozambique will flourish greatly. While the local languages are, naturally, African, there is additionally the portion of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the new and expanding awakening of English, both from South Africa and as part of the world-wide phenomenon. The country is considerably cheap (obviously, as it is so poor) and as above, has some of the most breathtaking beaches across the globe, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the kinds of assets that make tourism agents drool, and as the country climbs out of its existing slump, it’s likely that not only will tourism build, but that the list of Mozambique’s casinos will grow longer also.
While the country is unlikely to ever reinstate its character as a destination for partying South Africans, as there are now other choices closer to home for them to relish in, the advancement of a long distance tourism industry is being outlined. This would be to cater to Europeans looking for winter sun, as an escape from the dreariness of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Plus, obviously, the most elite prawns (shrimp) around the world derive from just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
