The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the people living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 common styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Until recently, there was a very large tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. 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 contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
