The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the critical economic circumstances leading to a bigger desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are two common styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 gambling den, which has just the slots. 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, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines 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 has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned 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 city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things improve is simply not known.
