The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For most of the people subsisting on the meager nearby money, there are 2 popular forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that most don’t purchase a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have 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 has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until conditions get better is basically unknown.
