The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a larger desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens living on the abysmal local earnings, there are two common types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are extremely low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that many do not buy a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a very large vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst 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 slot machine games. 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 two of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
