The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the citizens living on the meager nearby wages, there are two popular forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many do not purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until recently, there was a very large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is simply unknown.
