The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a higher desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two dominant types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is merely unknown.
