The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two common types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that many do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 only slot machine games. 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, both of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is basically not known.
