The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 common types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very substantial tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is basically unknown.
