Zimbabwe Casinos
Monday, 4. July 2022
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a higher desire to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For most of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 dominant forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things get better is basically unknown.
