The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the people living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely low, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the majority don’t purchase a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the country and travelers. Up until recently, there was a very large tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slots 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 aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till conditions improve is simply unknown.
