The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that most do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the state and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Amongst 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 Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is 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.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t known 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 be alive until things get better is merely not known.
