The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two common types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that many do not purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the astonishingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally big sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits 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 slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is basically unknown.
