The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For many of the people subsisting on the tiny local money, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a very big sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. 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, the two of which have table games, slots 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 slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till things improve is simply unknown.
