The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher ambition to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the people living on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. 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, both of which contain table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till things improve is simply unknown.
