The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the majority do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the extremely rich of the country and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer 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 two of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is simply unknown.
