The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager local wages, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that most do not buy a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among 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 slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is merely not known.
