The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a bigger desire to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the situation.
For many of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two established forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are extremely small, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. 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 expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic 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 table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is basically not known.
