The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a greater desire to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For most of the locals living on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely large tourist business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is merely not known.
