The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a higher eagerness to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are two established styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is simply not known.
