The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a higher desire to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 popular types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that many don’t purchase a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected violence have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 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 two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things improve is merely not known.
