The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the critical market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to play, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 established types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that the majority don’t purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the considerably rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till conditions improve is simply unknown.
