Botswana is one of Africa’s success stories; a nation of varied natural habitats, bountiful lifestyle, and of course a fast-expanding tourist region, captivated by its proximity to South Africa and also by its breathtaking game reserves and national parks. Botswana casinos are a emerging element of the economy, and casinos have developed in several cities in the country, which is inclusive of the capital, Gaborone, and the northern capital, Francis Town. Accordingly, the Botswana government has taken enormous measures to guarantee that the creation of Botswana casinos forges ahead in line with the developing numbers of foreign tourists.
Francis Town is the gigantic city in northern Botswana and also home to 2 casinos, the Marang Hotel, and the Admiral at the Thapama Hotel. The city was the site of southern Africa’s 1st "gold rush" in the mid nineteenth century, which appealed to visitors from across the globe in search of their fortune. Regrettably for them, the gold proved not easy and highly priced to mine, and many of the mining operations fell into disuse, although some remain. These days, the casinos of Francis Town present persons with the hope to strike it lucky; there is still gold here, if you are only blessed enough to find it!
Apart from Francis Town, the other leading center for Botswana casinos is the capital, Gaborone. This is home to Botswana’s biggest casinos, the Grand Palm Hotel Casino Resort, which has seventeen table games and higher than two hundred and fifty slots and video gaming machines, the Gaborone Sun Casino, which is the original and most gigantic casino in Botswana, as well as a distinctive development at the Gaborone Hotel. As a consequence, the capital is making a bid to appeal to numerous of the gambling business away from its northern opponent, and make itself a valuable destination for overseas persons on the way to the national parks of Chobe and Okavango in the north of Botswana, which are the country’s choice tourist enticement at present.
Africans admire gambling, and Botswana casinos are devised to lure locals and its guests from abroad. Realizing this, the government has been careful not to put pressure on the Botswana casino industry with standards and restrictions, though the industry has obviously closely been reviewed to make sure that it maintains the highest grade of virtue. Therefore, the Botswana casino sector pursues to expand to meet the requirement of tourists from everywhere, anxious to collect their fortune, like the prospectors of old.
