The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the awful market conditions creating a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the very rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably big vacationing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain 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 has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until things improve is simply not known.
