The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For nearly all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that many do not purchase a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the considerably rich of the nation and tourists. Until recently, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved 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 slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has 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 has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite 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.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till things improve is simply unknown.
