The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a greater ambition to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are two established forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that the majority don’t buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the considerably rich of the society and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots 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 halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it is not 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 things improve is simply unknown.
