Zimbabwe Casinos
Sunday, 11. September 2022
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a higher eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks 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 beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until things improve is simply not known.
