The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to play, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the people living on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that most do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is simply unknown.
