Botswana is one of Africa’s success stories; a nation of diverse natural aura, affluent lifestyle, also a swift-arising tourist spot, enchanted by its proximity to South Africa and also by its admirable game reserves and national parks. Botswana casinos are a growing portion of the economy, and casinos have developed in a number of cities in the country, such as the capital, Gaborone, and the northern capital, Francis Town. Subsequently, the Botswana government has taken great processes to ensure that the creation of Botswana casinos continues in line with the growing numbers of foreign tourists.

Francis Town is the largest city in northern Botswana and also home to two casinos, the Marang Hotel, and the Admiral at the Thapama Hotel. The city was the site of southern Africa’s beginning "gold rush" in the mid nineteenth century, which attracted people from across the globe in search of their fortune. Discouragingly for them, the gold proved difficult and expensive to mine, and almost all of the mining operations fell into disuse, regardless a handful remain. Today, the casinos of Francis Town provide players with the chance to get rich; there is still gold here, if you are truly successful 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 largest casinos, the Grand Palm Hotel Casino Resort, which has seventeen table games and beyond 250 slots and video gaming machines, the Gaborone Sun Casino, which is the original and greatest casino in Botswana, as well as a new development at the Gaborone Hotel. Therefore, the capital is making a bid to lure several of the gaming business away from its northern opposer, and make itself a valuable location for outside persons on the way to the national parks of Chobe and Okavango in the north of Botswana, which are the country’s finest tourist attractions at this time.

Africans are fond of playing, and Botswana casinos are designed to lure locals as well as visitors from overseas. Knowing this, the government has been mindful not to hound the Botswana casino industry with standards and red tape, even though the industry has clearly adequately been reviewed to guarantee that it retains the greatest standards of probity. Hence, the Botswana casino sector forges ahead to build to meet the expectation of guests from across the globe, eager to gather their fortune, like the prospectors of old.
