The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a larger ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the people subsisting on the meager local wages, there are 2 popular types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally large tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 Casino, which has just the 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, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is basically not known.
