Located in West Africa, the Republic of Ghana is bordered by Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Togo. With natural resources such as oil and gold, the country has a higher per capita output than many of their poorer neighbors.

Gambling is legal in Ghana. Casinos, lotteries and sports betting are all available.

Currently, there are two casinos in operation within the borders of Ghana. They are:

La Palm Atlantic Casino and Royal Beach Hotel This casino is open daily from 12 pm until close for slot machines. Table games are open from 6pm until close. The roulette has 5,575 square feet of gaming space with 52 gaming machines and eight table games (Texas Hold’em, Roulette, Blackjack and American Roulette). A sportsbook is also available through the casino. The property also contains a hotel, bar and restaurant.

La Palm Atlantic Casino was opened in 2003. It is operated by KaiRo International, a company that has interests in four casinos throughout the African continent.

- The Millionaires Casino located within the Golden Tulip Hotel, the casino is open daily from 8pm until 4am. There are 48 slot machines and seven table and poker games including blackjack and roulette.

All lottery activities in Ghana are controlled by the National Lottery Authority. The first lottery was conducted in Ghana in 1958. The National Lottery Authority is a new creation, having been formed in 2007, and its appearance has not been welcome by the smaller privately-run lottery outfits of Ghana.

- Texas Holdem Poker

- Omaha Poker

- Omaha Hi/Lo Poker

- Five Card Stud Poker
