The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical market conditions leading to a bigger desire to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the locals living on the meager nearby wages, there are two common types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that many don’t buy a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around until things get better is merely not known.
