The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For many of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that many don’t buy a card with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among 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 gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is merely not known.
