Zimbabwe Casinos
Monday, 8. March 2021
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a higher desire to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For the majority of the citizens living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, 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 contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has 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 halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions get better is simply not known.
