The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are two common forms of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until recently, there was a extremely large tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 den, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is merely not known.
