The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a higher ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely big tourist business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 just the slot machine games. 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, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
