The casino industry in Africa is growing rapidly, according to John Whiskin, managing director Africa at TCS John Huxley.
“Even though it has been quite static over the past two years, the casino industry in Africa is now growing at an amazing pace,” he told InterGaming. “There are new projects planned for Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania, Togo, Ghana and Zimbabwe. There are Diamond and Harlequins casinos recently opened in Lusaka in Zambia and a new Chinese casino is destined for Luanda in Angola.”
Of all of these, Ghana seems to be the real hot spot at the moment. There are four existing casinos in Accra, one in Temba and one in Kumasi and, in addition, there are three new casino projects planned in Accra over the next 18 months.
