The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are two popular styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that the majority don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the incredibly rich of the state and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a very large tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 hall, which has only slots. 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 offer gaming tables, slots 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 offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply not known.
