The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful economic circumstances creating a larger ambition to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the people living on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a considerably big vacationing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until things get better is simply unknown.
