The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the people surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the country and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
