The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger ambition to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the citizens surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 popular types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the majority don’t purchase a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is merely unknown.
