7. The Boardwalk Casino & Entertainment World, Summerstrand

Last but not least, we find The Boardwalk Casino & Entertainment World in Summerstrand. The establishment is located on the beachfront next to Nelson Mandela Bay in Port Elizabeth.

The casino and “entertainment world” offers 781 slot machines, 23 blackjack, poker and roulette tables. It also has numerous shops, restaurants for the whole family and a cinema.

What’s interesting is that at the moment, The Boardwalk is investing R1 billion to expand their offering, making the destination bigger and better.

Reviews stated that this was a safe spot with good restaurants, but in need of an upgrade as many felt the facilities were in decline. Perhaps that’s where the R1 billion will go!
