The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way, with the atrocious market conditions creating a bigger desire to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For most of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are two popular types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that most do not buy a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
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 gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the tourist business which funds 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 unknown.
