The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions leading to a higher desire to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are two popular styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that the majority do not purchase a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the astonishingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a very big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two 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 only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until things improve is simply unknown.
