The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny local money, there are two established forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that many do not buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime 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 Casino, which has just the slot machines. 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 contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
