The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably big tourist industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about 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 second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things improve is basically not known.
