The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a greater ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For the majority of the locals living on the tiny local money, there are two popular forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that many do not purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. 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 contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously 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 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is simply not known.
