Gambling Authority issues four more casino licences

The casino licenses will be in Gaborone, Maun, Palapye and Kasane. Currently, the country has nine casino licenses issued: three in Gaborone, two in Selebi-Phikwe, one in Jwaneng and another in Lobatse.

Briefing the media recently, the authority’s acting CEO, Emolemo Kesitilwe said they have realised there is an appetite for casinos and are hopeful that the Request For Application (RFA) will be issued by March 31, 2023. “We have seen interest for a casino license in Maun and believe one casino will be sufficient for now. The Kasane casino will help to support the tourism industry by providing tourists with entertainment.
