The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the people surviving on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 dominant styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that most do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally large tourist business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. 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, each of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is merely not known.
