The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the critical economic circumstances creating a larger desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the tiny local money, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned 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 second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
