The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a larger desire to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the state and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a extremely large tourist industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. 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 two of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until things get better is simply not known.
