The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a greater eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 established types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that many don’t buy a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the country and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
