The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is simply not known.
