The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical market conditions creating a bigger eagerness to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two dominant styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the majority don’t buy a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to 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 metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till things get better is merely unknown.
