The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger eagerness to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the people subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, look after the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Among 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 gambling hall, 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 pair of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things get better is simply unknown.
