The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market conditions leading to a higher ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the people living on the meager local wages, there are two established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that most don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely large vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only 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, both of which have gaming tables, 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 have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is basically unknown.
