The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the awful economic conditions creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the people living on the meager local earnings, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the concept that most do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Until recently, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse 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 slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until things improve is simply not known.
