The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a higher desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that the majority don’t purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, 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 offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is basically not known.
