The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions creating a greater eagerness to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 established forms of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a very big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.
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 slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
