Casinos in Botswana

January 22nd, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Botswana is one of Africa’s success stories; an area of individual natural aura, affluent assets, and of course a rapid-advancing tourist region, engrossed by its proximity to South Africa and also by its breathtaking game reserves and national parks. Botswana casinos are a growing area of the economy, and casinos have advanced in many cities in the country, which includes the capital, Gaborone, and the northern capital, Francis Town. Consequently, the Botswana government has taken large actions to make sure that the advancement of Botswana casinos advances in line with the expanding amounts of foreign travelers.

Francis Town is the biggest city in northern Botswana and also home to 2 casinos, the Marang Hotel, and also the Admiral at the Thapama Hotel. The city was the site of southern Africa’s initial "gold rush" in the mid nineteenth century, which lured persons from all over the globe in search of their fortune. Unfortunately for them, the gold proved hard and highly priced to mine, and several of the mining operations fell into disuse, even though some remain. Nowadays, the casinos of Francis Town present individuals with the possibility to get lucky; there is still gold here, if you are just privileged enough to find it!

Apart from Francis Town, the other essential center for Botswana casinos is the capital, Gaborone. This is home to Botswana’s biggest casinos, the Grand Palm Hotel Casino Resort, which has 17 table games and higher than two hundred and fifty slots and video gaming machines, the Gaborone Sun Casino, which is the original and biggest casino in Botswana, as well as a fresh development at the Gaborone Hotel. Hence, the capital is making a bid to attract some of the casino gambling business away from its northern adversary, and make itself a valuable stop for foreign tourists on the way to the national parks of Chobe and Okavango in the north of Botswana, which are the country’s choice tourist features right now.

Africans are fond of gaming, and Botswana casinos are developed to be appealing to locals and all individuals from overseas. Knowing this, the government has been careful not to put pressure on the Botswana casino industry with established codes and barricades, though the industry has evidently closely been checked out to certify that it maintains the largest grade of reliability. Accordingly, the Botswana casino sector perseveres to expand to meet the demand of guests from all over, yearning to gather their fortune, like the prospectors of old.
