The venue is the group’s second African casino, operating one already in Djerba, Tunisia. The company also has a further 40 casinos, largely in France and Belgium.

“The country has been developing a vast programme for several years to boost its tourism sector, with numerous sites, events and infrastructures set up,” the company said. “The opening of this new casino will reinforce this policy.”
