Land-based casinos

Ivory Coast's land-based casino market is concentrated in Abidjan and large hotel and entertainment complexes on the coast.

Operators operate under state licenses/concessions with reporting transparency requirements, KYC/AML and an age threshold of 18 +.

Taxation focuses on GGR/profit and fixed charges.

The calculations are dominated by cash, bank cards and mobile money (telecom operators).

Visitors are local players, expats and business tourists; contribution - niche, but stable due to the combination of "casino + hotel + event."

Growth drivers: MICE tourism development, standardization of rules and safety; risks: solvency, competition with bets/lotteries and gray retail.
