The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the awful market conditions creating a higher desire to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the locals surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 popular types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely large vacationing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slots 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 slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is merely unknown.
