The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a higher desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the people surviving on the meager nearby wages, there are two established styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pamper the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two 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 just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is merely unknown.
