The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the people living on the meager local earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the majority don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved 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 slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker 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 table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is merely not known.
