The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a higher desire to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For many of the locals subsisting on the meager local wages, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that most don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on until things improve is simply not known.
