The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are two common types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that most do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the incredibly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Among 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 den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair 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, both of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things get better is basically not known.
