The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a greater ambition to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two common forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that most do not buy a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally big sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime 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 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only 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, the two of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is simply unknown.
