The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions creating a greater desire to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are two popular styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the nation and tourists. Up until recently, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
