The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that most do not purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the nation and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 just the slot machines. 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 have 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 have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until things get better is basically unknown.
