The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For most of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 popular styles of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the astonishingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. 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, both of which have 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, each of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is merely not known.
