The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a bigger desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two popular styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big tourist business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 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 two of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not understood how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things improve is merely not known.
