Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe's gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a larger ambition to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 established styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It's been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don't purchase a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe's gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.
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 Casino, which has only slot machines. 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, both of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe's gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn't known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe's gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till conditions improve is simply not known.
