The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions creating a larger eagerness to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the citizens living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are extremely small, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that most do not buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a very substantial tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. 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, the pair of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is simply unknown.
