The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a larger desire to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 popular types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the majority do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is merely unknown.
