The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a greater ambition to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two dominant types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a very substantial vacationing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 just the 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 pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is merely unknown.
