The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are two popular types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that many do not purchase a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the society and vacationers. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably big vacationing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two 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 pair of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is basically not known.
