The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a bigger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For many of the people surviving on the tiny local wages, there are two common types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that most don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the state and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is simply not known.
