The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a bigger desire to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For many of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that most don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the state and tourists. Up until recently, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
