The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions creating a greater eagerness to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that many do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely big vacationing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 just the 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 offer gaming tables, 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 has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is basically unknown.
