The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a higher desire to play, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For most of the citizens living on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the UK football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions improve is basically not known.
