The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny local wages, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 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 just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is basically not known.
