Sun International Sells Casino Then Reopens It This Month

Sun International has announced it has sold it shuttered Carousel Casino to an un-named buyer and will reopen the casino in mid-December as the management team.

The casino was opened by Sun International back in 1991 but the recent pandemic that swept through South Africa forced the company to review its future and the decision was made to keep the casino closed.

In a statement by Sun International it said: “A regulatory application has been submitted to the North West Gambling Board and this will follow due process. In the interim, Sun International has appointed a management company to run the casino.”

Sun International CEO Anthony Leeming said: “Earlier this year we announced we would not reopen the Carousel Casino after lockdown restrictions were lifted, and that remains the case. However, by allowing the casino to be run by a management company we will be protecting the livelihoods of many previous staff who can now be re-employed.”
