Cameroon Casino

The Republic of Cameroon, located in Central Africa, may not seem the most obvious destination for those after a trip to the casino, but in fact for over 30 years, Cameroon casinos have been drawing in the punters. The country has two cities in which legalized gambling can be enjoyed, the capital, Yaoundé, located in the center of the country, and the port of Douala, which is Cameroon's largest city and the capital of the Littoral province.Cameroon casinos are mostly located in many of the country's luxury hotels. The largest casino in the country is in Yaoundé at the Yaoundé Hilton, in the heart of the center of the capital on Boulevard du 20 Mai. It is open daily from 4 pm to 4 am, and offers gamblers 8 table games and 60 slot machines. In these luxurious surroundings, residents and guests of the hotel can play blackjack, roulette, & poker. Furthermore, when guests tire of gambling, the hotel has 255 rooms, with four restaurants and two bars and offers the use of a fitness center and an outdoor swimming pool.
Cameroon's other main casino is in Douala, in the Le Méridien Hotel Douala, on 35 Avenue des Cocotiers, which overlooks the Wouri River. It is open from 8 pm to 4 am, and offers three tables of blackjack, two of roulette, and one for poker. The casino also hosts international poker tournaments at various times throughout the year. The hotel has 144 rooms, a piano bar, a sauna, and a swimming pool complex.

Not every one of the Cameroon casinos is located in a hotel. Visitors to Douala for instance can, in addition to the Le Méridien Hotel, enjoy a flutter at the country's newest gambling center, the Treasure Hunter casino. The Treasure Hunter is located in the Akwa area's busiest street, the Boulevard de Liberte. This casino, which was opened by operator Games World in 2005, was West & Central Africa's first all-electronic casino, with a "cashless" card system that can be used in all the gaming machines. In total, it offers 74 slot machines of the latest design and technology, and its poker machines offer a 96% per cent payout. The casino's opening hours are from 1 pm to 4 am.

So, although Las Vegas might not be losing any sleep over the competition from Cameroon, between Yaoundé and Douala, the African country has more than enough casinos to satisfy almost anyone's gambling urge.


are also a number of California casinos operating within the legal jurisdictions of its Native American owned lands. Because they are located on Native American land, many California casinos are located in out-of-the-way places. When visiting a California casino, it is advisable to call ahead and get specific directions.

Nearly all California casinos are open 24 hours a day. California casinos are allowed to offer electronic gaming machines, blackjack, and other card games. Unfortunately, the games of craps and roulette are not permitted, but some California casinos offer modified forms of these games that are played with cards rather than dice or roulette wheels. Slots, video poker and video keno are the most popular electronic gaming machines you'll find in California casinos. Some of the card games frequently played in California casinos include blackjack, baccarat, poker (including pai gow, Caribbean stud and three-card poker), Spanish 21, and Let it Ride. Many California casinos also feature bingo, casino war and OTB (off track betting) options for gamblers and casual players.

In addition to traditional gambling games, many California casinos offer some exciting and unusual amenities. For example, the Barona Valley Ranch Resort & Casino in Lakeside has a full 18-hole golf course and a wedding chapel. Visitors to the Konocti Vista Casino Resort & Marina, also in Lakeside, can take in a marina with 80 ships. The Win-River Casino in Redding features a comedy club and an entertainment center. Relax at the Cache Creek Indian Bingo & Casino in Brooks with a full-service spa. California casinos are as varied and colorful as the residents of California themselves, and many of them are full of surprises!

Several California casinos allow overnight RV parking for the traveling gambler, so if you're planning a California casino trip you can make quite a few stops and stay a while. Age restrictions at California casinos are 18 and up except where liquor is served, in which case it's 21 and up. Other California casinos include the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, the Mono Wind Casino in Auberry, the River Rock Casino in Geyserville, the Palace Indian Gaming Center in Lemoore, the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, the Black Bart Casino in Willits, the Lucky 7 Casino in Smith River, and many more!
