It wouldn’t be all that surprising to find that in this dirt-poor, land-locked country, there are no casinos, especially in a place where at least 50% of the population earn their living from subsistence (or peasant) agriculture and those that do have cash paying jobs have them in other countries. But, to apply these suppositions to Lesotho would be to miss the most important fact about the country. It is entirely surrounded by South Africa, and while it is economically integrated into it, it is politically and legally quite separate.

The relative lack of, the paucity in the numbers of, Mozambique’s casinos is in one sense rather puzzling, in another not.

In years gone by, the country was a place where many South Africans would visit to get away from the incredibly restrictive rules on gambling (and, it has to be said, mixing with other races) that they had at home. So, you would expect something of a thriving sector to cater to that tourist trade.

Blackjack - also known as ‘twenty-one’ and ‘pontoon’ - is a card game that nowadays is often found in a casino with people trying their luck on achieving the elusive ‘21′.
