• Zimbabwe Casinos

    [ English ]

    The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.

    For almost all of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 established types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that many do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

    Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Up until recently, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

    Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

    In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

    Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is basically unknown.
