The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the majority do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected violence have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions get better is simply unknown.
