The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the people living on the abysmal local earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a extremely large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among 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 Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slots 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is merely unknown.
