The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances creating a greater desire to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that most do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved 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 Casino, which has just the slots. 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 offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until conditions improve is simply not known.
