The consistent insufficiency in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense quite bewildering, in one way or another.

In past years, the city was a place where a lot of South Africans would travel to to detach themselves from the exceptionally restricting protocols on games of chance (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. For these reasons, you can bargain on somewhat of a booming spot to satisfy that tourist trade.

On the other hand, perhaps it is not much of a surprise. The nation is truly the most bankrupt on the planet, having been through a horrific civil war (followed by shattering floods) from which it is still, very slowly, rebounding. This could make a location a lot less of a travel place, though there is presently a developing view along several of the region’s outstanding beaches.

It is at the same time accurate that regionally at a minimum, casinos in Mozambique have had to aspire with several others in the lately liberalized South Africa, which includes the well-known Sun City founded by the Kerzner family organization.

Here’s 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 as well as punto banco.

It is thought that over time the full tourism sector in Mozambique will expand adequately. While the local languages are, naturally, African, there is added to that the remnant of Portuguese from the old colonial power and the fresh and growing origin of English, both from South Africa and as part of the world-wide phenomenon. The country is quite cheap (obviously, as it is very poor) and as above, has some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, fronting onto the Indian Ocean. Those are the kinds of features that make tourism agents drool, and as the country advances out of its present slump, it is likely that not only will tourism expand, but that the list of Mozambique’s casinos will grow longer too.

While the country is not likely to ever recapture its notoriety as a place for partying South Africans, as there are now other selections closer to home for them to revel in, the expansion of a long distance tourism industry is being line up. This would be to cater to Europeans hopeful for winter sun, as a break from the bleakness of the Northern Hemisphere winter. In addition, to top it off, the greatest prawns (shrimp) in the world are just offshore, in the Mozambique Channel.
