The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a greater desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the country and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is simply not known.
