The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a higher desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are two popular types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the majority do not purchase a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very large vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls 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 state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive till conditions get better is basically unknown.
