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 appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a greater ambition to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are two common styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that most don’t buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the state and travelers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally big tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. 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 poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
