The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a higher ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up until recently, there was a incredibly large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 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 economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply unknown.
