Gambling has been banned since 1673 in South Africa. Officially modernised laws confirming this in 1965 with the South Africa’s Gambling Act continued the ban except horse racing. With the nation having a democratic change of power in 1994 laws could be changed. The gambling ban was lifted and a national lottery was created. Before this time there were ‘underground’ casinos working illegally. Now these would have to license and generate revenue for the state. In 1996 the National Gambling Act brought a system in place to license the casinos.
