The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions creating a greater eagerness to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the problems.
For many of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a extremely big tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on until conditions get better is merely unknown.
