The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a greater desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the citizens living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular types of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is merely not known.
