The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions creating a bigger desire to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the locals living on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the extremely rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things improve is basically not known.
