The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a greater desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most do not purchase a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, 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 offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is merely unknown.
