The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that most do not purchase a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the society and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come about, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
