The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the meager nearby money, there are two dominant styles of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two 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 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 two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is basically not known.
