The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only 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 contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until things get better is merely unknown.
