The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a larger desire to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 established styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the very rich of the nation and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
