The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious market conditions creating a larger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the situation.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only 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 two of which contain gaming tables, 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 have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is simply not known.
