EGT slots grace West Africa’s Casino Oceano

Published: 
01 May, 2011

Games World International opened 2011 by unveiling the new Casino Oceano in January, in Mamba Point Hotel, conveniently located in the Diplomatic Quarter overlooking the scenic Atlantic Ocean.

Casino Oceano boasts gaming floor space of 600m2, using the best materials in interior design, top of the line slot machines and the latest technology and security systems.

In a welcome speech at the casino’s opening, Games World’s Chairman Tani Hanna said: “We are gathered here today to experience a one-of-a-kind project for West Africa, and certainly the best of its kind in Liberia. Traditionally, doing gaming in this part of the world has been limited to the ambitious non-professionals who, unable to operate such a business in the developed world, take advantage of minimum rules and regulations addressing the gaming industry and hardly any serious competition to reap the rewards of their incompetence in this region. With exception of few places further north and in the southernmost tip of the African continent, it is evident that Casino operators have invested very little in their venues, technology and human resources, doing no justice to the industry or to the entertainment value that a casino should bring to its clientele. We at Games World International have for the last 10 years decided to take a different approach to this, by bringing in radical changes to our African operations. What we are about to reveal to you today is a venue built on the latest technologies the market has to offer this industry in terms of games and operational procedures, we supersede any competition in the African subcontinent by far, and we are very pleased to be the first in the region to operate under the international standards of conduct for gaming operators. Our first experience in Liberia five years ago was a rather shy one. Considering the past few years of political stability and the economic reform spurred on by the government, we were encouraged to take an aggressive approach in 2010 to further expand in the country. What you will witness today clearly demonstrates our faith in this country and we are very determined to remain at the forefront of our field.”
