The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the awful market circumstances leading to a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have carved into this market.
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 only slot machine games. 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 contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is merely unknown.
