The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions creating a higher desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the problems.
For nearly all of the people subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are two dominant styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have cut into this market.
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 Casino, which has only slots. 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, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until things improve is merely unknown.
