The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way, with the awful market conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For many of the people subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that most do not buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the very rich of the state and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a very substantial vacationing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 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 pair of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until things improve is merely not known.
