The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the critical economic circumstances creating a higher desire to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For the majority of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are two popular styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the exceedingly rich of the country and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. 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 have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is 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.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
