The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that most do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very large vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. 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, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 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 economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till things improve is basically unknown.
