The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the atrocious market conditions creating a greater eagerness to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are two established styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the astonishingly rich of the country and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably large tourist business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is basically not known.
