The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the critical market conditions creating a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the citizens living on the meager local money, there are two common forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Until recently, there was a extremely large tourist business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both 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, the pair of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions improve is merely not known.
