The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the crucial market conditions creating a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the citizens living on the abysmal local earnings, there are two established types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that many don’t purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 gambling den, which has only slot machine games. 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, both of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is merely unknown.
