The relative scarcity in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in a sense rather puzzling, in one way or another.
In recent years, the territory was a spot where plenty of South Africans would drop by to be away from the astonishingly restrictive standards on wagering (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. Hence, you are likely to count on something of a flourishing area to oblige that tourist business.
However, perhaps it is not really an astonishment. The region is evidently the most destitute on the planet, having been through a frightening civil war (followed by damaging floods) from which it is still, very slowly, rebounding. This may make a spot a lot less of a travel target, as much as there is today a flourishing view along several of the city’s beautiful beaches.
It is added to that true that regionally to a certain degree, casinos in Mozambique have had to contend with many others in the recently liberalized South Africa, which comprises of the well-known Sun City founded by the Kerzner family corporation.
Here’s a list of Mozambique’s casinos:
Maputo: Polana Casino Hotel
There are seventy-eight slot machines and video poker games, five tables of American roulette, four blackjack tables, and one poker table.
Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino
There are forty slot machines, American roulette, and also 2 tables for poker and also punto banco.
It is thought that over time the full tourism industry in Mozambique will expand dramatically. While the local languages are, clearly, African, there is in addition the portion of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the fresh and growing origin of English, both from South Africa and as part of the worldwide phenomenon. The country is distinctly cheap (naturally, as it is really poor) and as above, has some of the most stunning beaches worldwide, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the kinds of assets that make tourism executives drool, and as the country advances out of its current slump, it is likely that not only will tourism blossom, but that the list of Mozambique’s casinos will grow longer too.
While the country is not expected to ever recapture its character as a spot for partying South Africans, as there are now other choices closer to home for them to engross in, the enhancement of a long distance tourism sector is being set-up. This would be to cater to Europeans hopeful for winter sun, as a retreat from the dullness of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Additionally, of course, the best prawns (shrimp) in the world are just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
