The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are two dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the country and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a very large vacationing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only 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, the pair of which have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply not known.
