The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 popular types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are extremely small, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that many do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is simply unknown.
