Botswana is one of Africa’s success stories; a city of different natural aura, generous materials, and a fast-increasing tourist area, enchanted by its proximity to South Africa and also by its distinguished game reserves and national parks. Botswana casinos are a developing part of the economy, and casinos have sprung up in many cities in the country, inclusive of the capital, Gaborone, and the northern capital, Francis Town. Consequently, the Botswana government has taken gigantic measures to certify that the buildup of Botswana casinos continues in line with the emerging numbers of faraway travelers.

Francis Town is the largest city in northern Botswana and also home to 2 casinos, the Marang Hotel, along with the Admiral at the Thapama Hotel. The city was the site of southern Africa’s initial "gold rush" in the midst of 19th century, which lured residents from all around the world in search of their fortune. Sadly for them, the gold proved not easy and exorbitant to mine, and most of the mining operations fell into disuse, though some remain. These days, the casinos of Francis Town allot persons with the opportunity to strike it rich; there is still gold here, if you are only lucky 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 17 table games and over 250 slots and video gaming machines, the Gaborone Sun Casino, which is the original and most enormous casino in Botswana, as well as a fresh development at the Gaborone Hotel. As a result, the capital is making a bid to allure a number of the wagering business away from its northern opposer, and make itself a eminent stop for overseas guests on the way to the national parks of Chobe and Okavango in the north of Botswana, which are the country’s prime tourist interests right now.

Africans are fond of betting, and Botswana casinos are devised to be of interest to locals and all guests from elsewhere. Acknowledging this, the government has been cautious not to exhaust the Botswana casino industry with regulations and red tape, although the industry has obviously thoroughly been examined to certify that it holds the best grade of reliability. Hence, the Botswana casino sector continues to flourish to meet the requirement of visitors from across the globe, desirous to gather their fortune, like the prospectors of old.
