The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate market conditions creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For many of the people subsisting on the meager local money, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that most don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till things improve is simply unknown.
