The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the problems.
For most of the locals subsisting on the tiny local money, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most do not buy a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseers. Until recently, there was a extremely substantial vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. 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, the two of which contain table games, slot machines 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 has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is basically not known.
