The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny local earnings, there are two established forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably big vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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 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, the pair of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is merely not known.
