The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a higher ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that most don’t buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the state and tourists. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. 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 two of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is merely not known.
