The Casino Marina opened its operation in Antananarivo, Madagascar, the capital city. The casinos are located on the 5th floor of Globe Centre Behoririka, the oldest and largest shopping centre in Tana, and add more than 450 shops to satisfy young and old.

A food court with a rooftop terrace, according to a local media report, the Casino Lion is the newest under the Casino Marina, making it the tenth casino to open for the Casino Marina group. The land-based casino offers 60 upmarket gaming machines and automatic roulette with progressive jackpots through the ACE system and 11 live table games offering Poker, Blackjack, and Roulette Baccarat. Speaking at the launch, Herman Franklin, the regional General Manager in Madagascar, said,

“I’m proud of my team here in Tana who, despite limited working conditions due to the wave of COVID-19 pandemic, pulled this installation off. Of course, this would not be possible without the tremendous support we got from Lennie Govender from ACES, the system supplier.”

Therefore due to Covid-19, travel restrictions made it difficult for the Casino Marina team, which has to learn through online. The Casino Marina staff conducted the entire installation in Madagascar with remote assistance from the South Africa ACE team. It was a superb effort by the operations staff in Antananarivo and the ACE team based in Johannesburg commented Cliff Lamberton from ACES. In contrast, production and logistics were managed by Elzette Lotriet and Dennis Carlisle, respectively, under the problematic condition with limited production capacity resulting from lockdown and infrequent freight. However, they got the hardware built and sent, which left it up to Tom and his team and Kurt Roman from ACES. All tanning was conducted through an ACES online training portal that offers course bundles for the various jobs role, each ACE module’s casino course and all the Webinar recordings.

Thanks to the ACES management, all systems on the ACE training portal are free and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. Though Madagascar is one of the first countries in Africa that reopened its economy after the first lockdown, it experienced a second wave of the virus spread that badly hit Madagascar’s economy. Even though before the Covid-19 pandemic, Madagascar has been experiencing an economic boom, the upward trajectory of the economic pace accelerated over the last five years, reaching an estimated growth rate of 4.8percent in 2019.

A record level in ten years; however, the Madagascar casino industry is growing thanks to Marina’s Group entrant. That just launched in the country, adding to about fives casinos in the country is quite astonishing, positioning the casino industry, in essence, a booming sector. However, the Casino Marina Group recently, as its operation opened in Blantyre Malawi in 2020, the company now has 10 in Africa while launching its first of its kind, offering the latest gaming machines and high stakes gaming. The casino is located at the Sogecoa Golden Peacock Hotel and conference Centre Blantyre first ever 5-star hotel.

However, Madagascar is located in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa, with a country’s population of over 26 million people. The capital city is Antananarivo, and some of the largest cities, Toamasina, Antsirabe, Franarantsoa, Mahajanga, and Toliara.
