Botswana is one of Africa’s success stories; a nation of assorted natural habitats, affluent lifestyle, and a rapid-developing tourist domain, captivated by its proximity to South Africa and also by its appealing game reserves and national parks. Botswana casinos are a developing element of the economy, and casinos have branched out in numerous cities in the country, inclusive of the capital, Gaborone, and the northern capital, Francis Town. Accordingly, the Botswana government has taken considerable actions to ensure that the advancement of Botswana casinos advances in line with the increasing numbers of faraway tourists.

Francis Town is the greatest 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 earliest "gold rush" in the middle of the nineteenth century, which attracted persons from across the globe in search of their fortune. Unfortunately for them, the gold proved challenging and highly priced to mine, and several of the mining operations fell into disuse, though several remain. Presently, the casinos of Francis Town present persons with the chance to strike it lucky; there is still gold here, if you are only lucky enough to find it!

Apart from Francis Town, the other key center for Botswana casinos is the capital, Gaborone. This is home to Botswana’s gigantic casinos, the Grand Palm Hotel Casino Resort, which has seventeen table games and more than 250 slots and video gaming machines, the Gaborone Sun Casino, which is the first and greatest casino in Botswana, as well as a brand-new development at the Gaborone Hotel. Hence, the capital is making a bid to lure some of the casino gambling business away from its northern rival, and make itself a favorable stop for foreign visitors on the way to the national parks of Chobe and Okavango in the north of Botswana, which are the country’s best tourist features right now.

Africans are fond of betting, and Botswana casinos are designed to be appealing to locals also gamblers from overseas. Grasping this, the government has been on guard not to hound the Botswana casino industry with standards and red tape, though the industry has clearly closely been checked out to be sure that it keeps the highest means of virtue. Therefore, the Botswana casino sector goes on to thrive to meet the requirement of persons from everywhere, thirsty to locate their fortune, like the prospectors of old.
