The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 popular types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that many don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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, the pair of which have 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 two of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until things improve is simply not known.
