The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions creating a higher eagerness to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the people living on the tiny nearby money, there are two popular forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are extremely low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the English football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the society and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. 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 poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on until things improve is simply unknown.
