The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances creating a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the people living on the tiny local money, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things get better is simply unknown.
