The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market conditions creating a higher ambition to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For many of the people surviving on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 established types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Until recently, there was a very large sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, 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 contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
