The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For nearly all of the people surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till things improve is basically not known.
