Kampala is definitely an entertaining place to stay. It offers almost an infinite list of nightclubs plus bars, poetry nights, parties, dance halls, restaurants, art openings as well as live music. However despite all this, there is always room for some vice. Go into the casino: an all-in-one grown-ups thunder dome which will offer you all the pleasure you will ever desire again. Kampala offers a number of betting choices to people who feel really lucky. So when sports betting and different machine houses can be found everywhere you go to the top 3 appropriate casinos that is; Simba, Mayfair and Kampala Casino.
Simba is actually one of the most popular casinos in Kampala. It’s located in front of the Garden City and is easily recognized with its large, neon sign. Simba has a lot of games where by it provides a variety of slots, alongside all of the standard table games such as roulette, blackjack, pontoon and several different types of poker. It has got almost everything a gambler can want. One of them is that, with regular “live nights” dancing Russian girls and the short dresses that female dealers need to wear, it’s quite obvious that this is a casino designed specifically to pander to males. Despite all this, Simba still remains almost synonymous with the word “casino” in Uganda, so that should really tell you something.
Kampala casino is situated within town on the second floor of the Pan African house along kimathi Ave. They feature all the basic tables as well as slot machines in samba plus Mayfair however it offers a considerably more relaxed ambiance. The chips are slightly older and the room is a bit dated however it still seem to charm just how only a vintage poker house could. Its dealers are nicely dressed up in blouses plus button up shirts and are delighted to joke as well as speak to the players. People with little knowledge playing poker, it is an awesome alternative since the staff is properly trained, friendly as well as willing to teach you the fundamentals of the game. The customer service is fast and efficient. Finger foods, beer, juices plus sodas are totally free for player however harder alcohol should be bought. For people who are extremely irresponsible, a few hours at Kampala casino may be a wonderful disruption
The Mayfair Casino is part of the bigger Mayfair group, which also includes two casinos in Nairobi and a restaurant in Kampala. It is located at Kisozi Close near Nakasero. Just like Pyramids, it has a high-class atmosphere, with its main room being large, well-furnished and spotting fancy domed ceilings. As their website describes them, the looks are a mix between “European, Oriental and African decorative elements that are blended together”. Fancy! Still, don’t let the looks deter you, everyone is welcome in Mayfair even if they are not wearing formal attire. And this is certainly a casino that you would want to visit regardless of what you are wearing as they offer American roulette, blackjack, pontoon, Texas Hold’em, Bingo and multiple slots and video machines, including complimentary drinks and food mostly pizza and ice cream for players.
Casino Kampala is Pyramids Casino’s big sister. You get the same posh, yet approachable interior, the same good food and the same wonderful experience, combined with some of the most experienced and friendly dealers you will ever find in Kampala. Being the first Ugandan casino, Kampala knows how to find talent and nurture it, training its staff to provide their gamblers with a relaxed rich casino experience. They offer all the games that other casinos have combined, but also one-up them by providing completely free food and non-alcoholic beverages to its customers.
Pyramids Casino is quite obviously themed after the Sphinx and Pyramids of Ancient Egypt, which already gives it a whole lot of bonus points in my book. In Ancient Egypt, the pyramids were used as tombs for kings, filled with treasure and riches meant for the king to use in the afterlife. Similarly, Pyramids Casino is rather posh, obviously passing itself off as a high-class venue for the ‘kings’ of gambling! They offer dozens upon dozens of slots and pretty much every popular table game, including regular poker tournaments. On top of that, they also offer a terrace bar and a restaurant for when you need a drink or a bite in between games and while we haven’t personally tasted their food, they claim to offer “the finest gourmet dining in East Africa”.
