The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a higher desire to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the locals living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the English football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till things get better is basically not known.
