The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For many of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the nation and sightseers. Until recently, there was a extremely large tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is merely not known.
