The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic circumstances creating a higher eagerness to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most do not purchase a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the very rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. 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 two of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is merely unknown.
