The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a bigger ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the people surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 dominant styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that many don’t purchase a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the considerably rich of the society and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a considerably substantial vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on until conditions improve is merely unknown.
