The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to play, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that many don’t buy a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the state and sightseers. Until recently, there was a extremely large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, 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 pair of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things get better is simply unknown.
