The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a bigger desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the meager local wages, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that many do not purchase a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive until things get better is simply unknown.
