The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the people subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are two common styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that most do not buy a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the state and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 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 machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both 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, the pair of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is simply unknown.
