The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the locals living on the meager local earnings, there are two popular types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that many do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the society and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things improve is merely not known.
