The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger desire to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For the majority of the citizens surviving on the meager local money, there are two popular styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and travelers. Until recently, there was a extremely big vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, 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 offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things improve is basically not known.
