The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a bigger desire to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 established styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the majority do not buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally large tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, 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, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video poker 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is simply not known.
