The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a greater desire to wager, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 common styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very big tourist industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video 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 table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about 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 second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till things improve is basically unknown.
