Land-based casinos

The Ghanaian land casino market is small and is concentrated mainly in Accra hotel and entertainment complexes (including business districts and the airport area) and partially Kumasi/Takoradi.

Operators operate under Gaming Commission of Ghana licenses with requirements for property transparency, security, reporting and an age threshold of 18 +.

The calculations are dominated by cash, bank cards and mobile money (MTN, Vodafone, AirtelTigo); KYC/AML and responsible play procedures are mandatory.

Demand is shaped by local players, expats and business tourists; growth potential is associated with MICE events and hotel clusters, and restrictions are associated with solvency and competition with sports betting.
