The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that many don’t buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the astonishingly rich of the state and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two 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 forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is simply not known.
