Land-based casinos

Land-based casinos in Madagascar are concentrated in major cities and tourist areas (primarily Antananarivo and coastal resorts).

Most often these are game halls at hotels and resorts, aimed at tourists and wealthy local players.

The offer is dominated by slot machines, and roulette, blackjack and poker are common from the tables; VIP options are presented in a simplified format.

Entrance, as a rule, from 18 years old with a passport/identity card, the dress code is smart casual.

Calculations are mainly cash in Malagasy Ariari; tourist locations can accept foreign currency or cards, but non-cash infrastructure is limited.

Operators are required to comply with the basic requirements of licensing, responsible play, and AML/CFT (customer identification, record retention, suspicious transaction reporting).

The market is compact, the list of sites is changing, so it is advisable to clarify specific establishments and opening hours on the spot.
