The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a larger desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the problems.
For most of the locals living on the meager nearby wages, there are two common forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the exceedingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five 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, both of which have table games, 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 pair of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
