The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic circumstances creating a bigger desire to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that most do not purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among 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 den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, one armed bandits 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 video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things improve is merely unknown.
