The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the critical market conditions creating a larger ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the incredibly rich of the state and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely big vacationing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
