The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For almost all of the people surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 popular forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is basically unknown.
