The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the people living on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 established types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that most do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, 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, both of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is simply unknown.
