Zimbabwe gambling halls
Sunday, 5. January 2025
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the locals living on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the society and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated 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 market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is simply unknown.
