The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For many of the people subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two common styles of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that most don’t buy a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut 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 slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has arisen, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is basically not known.
