The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are two established forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved 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 slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. 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 two of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is simply unknown.
