The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a larger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For the majority of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are two common forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till things improve is merely unknown.
