Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a higher desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are two established styles of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the nation and tourists. Up till recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is basically not known.
