The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a greater desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are two established forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the considerably rich of the state and tourists. Until recently, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously 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 more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on until things improve is merely not known.
