The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the meager nearby money, there are 2 common forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the considerably rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst 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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is merely not known.
