The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For the majority of the citizens living on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that many don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the astonishingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slot machines 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 gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is simply not known.
