The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a greater eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two popular types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that many do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
