The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful market conditions leading to a higher ambition to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the country and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. 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 gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools 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.
Since the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply unknown.
