The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a higher desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For almost all of the people living on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that the majority do not purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the astonishingly rich of the country and vacationers. Until recently, there was a extremely large tourist industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have 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, each of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till things improve is basically not known.
