The list of Ghana’s casinos is quite short: not a surprise for a poor African country. Actually, by the standards of Africa, Ghana isn’t actually all that poor. That level of income does not support a thriving gaming industry, so as we say, the list of Ghana’s casinos is still quite short.
In fact, there are four in the entire country.
List of Ghana’s Casinos:
Accra: Golden Tulip Hotel & Royal Casino
In Ghana there’s only one place to stay. Golden Tulip Accra is a first class African style business hotel with 238 rooms including suites, apartments, chalets, executive and standard rooms. The hotel is placed in sprawling grounds with a nice backdrop of tropical gardens, and is centrally located in the developing business district of Accra.
La Palm: Atlantic Casino and Royal Beach Hotel
Kumasi: City Hotel & Ashanti Casino
Tema: Merdian Hotel & Club Vegas
All these casinos have both slot machines and gaming tables. For the latter two, the provincial ones, blackjack and roulette, while the ones in the capital, Accra, also have poker tables.
Gambling and roulette have traditionally done very well in mining areas, but this is changing as the business becomes more capital intensive: no longer are there armies of well-paid miners tearing at a hillside. Now it is very few people and large numbers of very expensive machines. Machines, as you may have noted, do not gamble.
Sports betting can be found at the La Palm Atlantic Casino in Accra. The owners of the casino, KaiRo International, have partnered with international sports book Ladbrokes to offer online betting throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. Ladbrokes also happens to be the largest bookmaker in the world.
So, there are the reasons why the list of Ghana’s casinos is so short. A poor country, based on agriculture, the tourist industry is not oriented to a market that is likely to gamble, and there are very few local workers who make enough to gamble.
