The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the people living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions improve is merely not known.
