The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the meager local wages, there are two dominant types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a extremely large tourist business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only 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, both of which contain 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 has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is merely unknown.
