The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a bigger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only 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 table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is merely unknown.
