The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial market conditions creating a higher ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For many of the locals surviving on the tiny local money, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the state and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till things improve is basically not known.
