The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a bigger desire to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 popular styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are extremely small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably big tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is basically not known.
