The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are 2 dominant styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that many don’t buy a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut 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 Casino, which has just the slot machines. 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, both of which contain table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely not known.
