The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the people living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that many don’t buy a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the country and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the two of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
