The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the critical economic circumstances creating a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are extremely low, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most do not buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. 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 two of which have 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 video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around until things improve is merely unknown.
