The Piggs Peak Casino, the only one in the tiny kingdom of Swaziland, surrounded by South Africa, has handed its operating licence back to the Swazi government.
The authorities have now taken over the running of the location. The casino was run by Casino Enterprises, which said that the decision to cease operations had been taken because the South African courts had decided, in effect, to make it illegal for South Africans to gamble online, even on a site not actually located in South Africa. As most of the Piggs Peak revenues came from online operations, the court decision made it untenable for the casino to be operated at its fullest potential.
