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 appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For many of the citizens subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, 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, the two of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things improve is merely not known.
