The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are two popular styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that most don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting 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.
Given that the market has diminished by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through until things improve is merely not known.
