The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the locals surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two established types of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. 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 have table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till things get better is merely unknown.
