The general deficiency in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense somewhat bewildering, in one way or another.

In years gone by, the country was a site where plenty of South Africans would vacation to get away from the extremely prohibitive principles on wagering (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. Thus, you can count on a concept of a booming area to cater to that tourist market.

At the same time, perhaps it is not much of a surprise. The area is one of the poorest worldwide, having been through a horrific civil war (followed by shattering floods) from which it is still, very slowly, rebounding. This might make a place less of a tourist focal point, as much as there is now a inviting ambiance along a number of the country’s beautiful beaches.

It is at the same time credible that regionally to a certain degree, Mozambique’s casinos have had to compete with casinos in the recently liberalized South Africa, inclusive of the exemplary 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 as well as video poker games, five tables of American roulette, four blackjack tables, also one poker table.

Namaacha: Sol Libombos Hotel Casino

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

It is thought that over time the entire tourism sector in Mozambique will flourish efficaciously. While the local languages are, clearly, African, there is in addition the portion of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the innovative and developing origin of English, both from South Africa and as part of the worldwide phenomenon. The country is very cheap (naturally, as it is so poor) and as above, has some of the most outstanding beaches worldwide, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the sorts of features that make tourism agents drool, and as the country ascends out of its present slump, it’s likely that not only will tourism develop, but that the list of casinos in Mozambique will grow longer as well.

While the country is doubtful to ever replenish its notoriety as a focal point for partying South Africans, as there are now other choices closer to home for them to indulge in, the advancement of a long distance tourism industry is being planned. This would be to serve Europeans wanting winter sun, as a break from the distress of the Northern Hemisphere winter. And, of course, the greatest prawns (shrimp) across the globe derive from just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
