The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a higher desire to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For many of the locals surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two dominant types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected conflict 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two 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 contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions get better is simply not known.
