The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater desire to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the people living on the abysmal nearby money, there are two established forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Until recently, there was a very large sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and video poker 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 gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is basically not known.
