The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater desire to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are two common types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the state and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain 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, both of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is merely not known.
