The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a greater ambition to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are two common forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that most don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the society and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain 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, each of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
