The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two established types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. 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 pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is merely unknown.
