The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a higher ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are two common types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the state and tourists. Up until recently, there was a considerably big vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Amongst 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. 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 offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till things improve is basically unknown.
