The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances creating a greater eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the locals living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that many do not purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until recently, there was a incredibly big vacationing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits 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 blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until things get better is simply unknown.
