The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a larger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the locals living on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that most do not purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, 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, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is merely not known.
