The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the locals living on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that many don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is basically unknown.
