The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial market circumstances creating a bigger desire to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the people surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not 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 things improve is basically not known.
