The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two popular types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the state and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime 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 five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. 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, both of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things get better is simply unknown.
