The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager local money, there are 2 dominant styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very big vacationing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is merely unknown.
