The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the situation.
For many of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely small, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the very rich of the country and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime 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 den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until things get better is basically not known.
