The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the problems.
For many of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, 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 aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it is not understood how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through until things improve is simply unknown.
