The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For most of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until recently, there was a very big tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
