The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger ambition to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is merely unknown.
