The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a very large tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Among 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 slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until conditions improve is basically unknown.
