A casino is a building that accommodates gambling. Customers may gamble
by playing slot machines or other games of chance and some skill. Africa
strictly regulates gambling because of the impact it has on the general
public. A limited number of state controlled licences are awarded to specific
casinos.
Casinos are often placed near or combined with hotels, restaurants and
other vacation attractions to encourage long stays. In Africa many resort
type establishments have been modelled around local magic and fantasy
themes.
Key tourist attractions are the main appeal for visiting the gambling
establishments. All the main cities have casinos but resorts like Sun
City have built an entire destination out of the opportunity it offered
gamblers at a time when it was still prohibited in pre-democratic South
Africa.
Gambling and entry to casinos is limited to people over the age of 18.
It is illegal for children to enter gambling halls, however many of the
facilities offer child care services and children’s entertainment.
