The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are two established forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the lion’s share do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, 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 have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things get better is basically not known.
