The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the problems.
For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the majority don’t buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the state and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. 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, the two of which have table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how well the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely not known.
