While the gambling situation in the Malian capital is more than pathetic, with only one casino in the city, the National Assembly still takes a long time to change the laws in force. Indeed, it is not only the players or investors satisfaction but, the amendment of this text that will also play an important role in the municipality’s income. If a bill to change the existing text was adopted long ago, it seems that for the personal profits of a few influent people, he suffered a hindrance.



According to local press, the casino yields a big profit to a few sponsors, so they refuse to share the revenues derived from it. Thus, even if Malians call their elected representatives to revise at the earliest possible the laws related to the authorization to establish game rooms, it never succeeds. Excuses to prevent the vote of the bill are still ahead of this situation. Thus, instead of following the conditions stipulated by law for the creation of casinos, game rooms such as the Segou, Kati, Koutiala and Friendship, which do not meet the law’s requirements, arise.
