The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 popular types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the majority do not buy a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a considerably big vacationing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things improve is basically unknown.
