The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful market circumstances creating a larger eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the locals surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two established types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. 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, the pair of which offer table games, slot machines and video 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through till things improve is merely unknown.
