The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a higher desire to play, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For the majority of the people subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the majority don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the society and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 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 machines. 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, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till things improve is basically not known.
