The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances creating a larger ambition to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the people subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the country and vacationers. Until recently, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is 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 recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
