The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens living on the meager local earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a very big vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this market.
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 den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions improve is simply unknown.
