The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a greater eagerness to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that many do not purchase a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a considerably substantial vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have cut into this market.
Among 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 den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till things improve is simply not known.
