The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a greater ambition to play, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the locals surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are two established forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the 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, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until things get better is merely unknown.
