The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to wager, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For almost all of the citizens living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two dominant forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that many do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. 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, both of which contain 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, the two of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is basically not known.
