The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a higher desire to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the people living on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that most do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally substantial vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, 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 has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is basically unknown.
