The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a higher ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For many of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the majority do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two 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, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
