The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For the majority of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the majority do not buy a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the country and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a very large vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two 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 just the 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 have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is basically unknown.
