The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a greater desire to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 established forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that most do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have cut into this market.
Among 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 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 offer table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is simply unknown.
