The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that many do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably large sightseeing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have 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 has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting 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.
Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is simply not known.
