The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful market circumstances creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby wages, there are two dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the exceedingly rich of the society and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a extremely big tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Amongst 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 gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is simply unknown.
