Zimbabwe Casinos

The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a greater desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the country and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is basically unknown.
