The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the people surviving on the meager local earnings, there are two common forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority do not purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the incredibly rich of the society and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a very large vacationing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to 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 second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is basically unknown.
