The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic circumstances creating a larger desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two common forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most don’t buy a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Until recently, there was a extremely large tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is simply not known.
