The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the situation.
For many of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it is not well-known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is simply not known.
