The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the people surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two established types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the country and travelers. Up till recently, there was a very large sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions get better is basically unknown.
