The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two common forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the incredibly rich of the country and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a considerably big tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved 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 hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come about, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
