The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to play, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For most of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are two common forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically unknown.
