The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a larger desire to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably big. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a very big sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two 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 only slots. 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, the pair of which have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is merely unknown.
