The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a larger desire to wager, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that many don’t buy a card with a real belief of winning. 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 shoe, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things improve is simply unknown.
