Comoana said after the meeting of the Council of Ministers the regulation states that the country’s capital, Maputo, may have up to four casinos within a 100-metre radius while the Beira and Chimoio cities can have a maximum of three within that same area.
The cities of Mozambique were classified under this regulation into three classes – A, B and C – and Maputo is considered class A; the city of Beira, the capital of the central province of Sofala, class B; and cities of Chimoio (Manica) and Quelimane (Zambezia) class C, which sets the maximum number of licenses to be granted.
The deputy minister stressed that through this regulation, the government intends to concentrate a larger number of casinos in a small area and gave Macau as an example of concentration of casinos.
"This concentration allows the
player to be in a casino and, at his discretion, move to another, either
because he is losing or because the other has better security or other
conditions,” he said.
