The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the crucial economic conditions creating a higher ambition to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a very big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, 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 houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
