The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many do not purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, 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 has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is merely not known.
