The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the people living on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a extremely substantial tourist business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 Casino, which has just the slot machine games. 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 pair of which have table games, 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 video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until conditions get better is simply unknown.
