The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that most do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the very rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 gambling den, which has just the slots. 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 pair of which offer table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
