The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful economic conditions creating a higher ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 established styles of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the extremely rich of the country and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Among 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 Casino, which has only slot machines. 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 two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
