The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 dominant forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the considerably rich of the country and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not known how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is merely not known.
