The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 dominant types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that most don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until recently, there was a very large tourist industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the 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, both of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it isn’t known how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically not known.
