The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two established styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that many don’t buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut 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 gambling hall, which has just the slots. 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 two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is merely not known.
