The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions creating a higher desire to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 popular types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the very rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
