Resort Kenya Limited Casino

From the Maasai, meaning cold water, comes Nairobi, also referred to as the green city in the sun. Nairobi is the largest, most populous and capital city of Kenya and lies between Mombasa and Kampala. In the distance you can see Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. If you’re into safaris and nature reserves, this may be the city for you. Spend additional time shopping, checking out the surplus of museums, strolling through parks and gardens, and of course, hitting up the casinos.

Gaming

The casino has a very modest selection of games but is conveniently located in the hotel lobby, so you needn’t worry about any undue travel if you’re staying there. There are a total of 70 machines, slots and video poker, plus an additional 12 table games. These consist of 1 blackjack, 1 baccarat, 1 Caribbean stud, 3 pai gow and 6 American roulette wheels. The selection may be minimal, but remember, sometimes it just takes one spin on one machine to hit a jackpot. Combined with a few good hands in cards and your favourite number appearing on the wheel, you could still have a pretty good afternoon and walk away with a bit more than you came with.
