The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 dominant types of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the society and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five 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 just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions get better is basically not known.
