The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the crucial market conditions creating a higher ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are two popular forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely small, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, look after the extremely rich of the state and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have 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, the two of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is basically not known.
