The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals living on the meager local money, there are 2 popular forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come about, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions improve is simply unknown.
