Rwanda had its first casino scheduled to open on October 21, but unexpected delays delayed its opening. Insiders say there is unfinished work in the building where the casino will be located, and several employees say shipments of equipment from abroad have been delayed. Casino Kigali will be located on the first floor of the Top Tower Hotel, which opened as scheduled, but there is no sign of a game table yet.
Lotto Rwanda Lotto Rwanda, the national lottery company, will operate its new casino when it opens. The next planned step is to install video games in bars, nightclubs, and restaurants around the city. Owners of these facilities will be Lotto Rwanda's franchisees and will receive commissions for machine use.
Lotto Secretary General Philip Brizou said the casino was just one of many innovations planned for a change in Rwanda's environment. He believes these changes could help stabilize Rwanda's economy in the aftermath of 14 years of internal turmoil and genocide.
Kigali is Rwanda's largest city and capital, located right in the middle of the country. It has been a cultural and economic center since Rwanda gained independence in 1962. The city is a logical choice for the country's first casino, which Brijou considers part of "national wealth redistribution" and "economic stability." 슬롯
