The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to play, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the people living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that most don’t buy a card with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a extremely substantial vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things improve is merely unknown.
