The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two dominant styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are extremely small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the astonishingly rich of the state and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is basically not known.
