The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a greater desire to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 Casino, which has just the slots. 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 have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood 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 be alive till things get better is merely not known.
