The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are two dominant types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the majority do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Until recently, there was a very big tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and video 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 blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is merely not known.
