The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a greater ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the tiny local money, there are two common types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the country and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. 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, the pair of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is merely unknown.
