Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For many of the locals surviving on the tiny nearby money, there are two common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a very substantial tourist industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the 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, the two of which offer gaming tables, 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 have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is basically unknown.
