The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions creating a greater desire to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For many of the people surviving on the meager local earnings, there are two established forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly substantial tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.
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 gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until conditions get better is basically not known.
