Botswana’s Gambling Authority has dangled different gambling licenses to lure international operators to the Southern African country.

MMegi Online reported that the Botswana state regulator will issue six more casino licenses this month as part of its plan to open further its gambling market.

GA chief executive officer Thulisizwe Johnson announced that the African state will establish two new casinos in Gabrone; two in Palapye, one in Maun, and another in Kasane.  Currently there are three casinos in Gaborone, two in Francistown, and each in Lobatse, Jwaneng and Selebi Phikwe.

“We are finalizing the request for application process. The Kasane license will be different as it will have exemptions based on the fact that even though Kasane might have the potential to have a casino, we need to consider that it is a village,” Johnson said, according to the news report.
