The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the people living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. 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 pair of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is basically not known.
