The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For the majority of the people living on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that many don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally large tourist business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 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 offer 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 have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned 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 city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is simply unknown.
