The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the people subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two common forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the state and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till things get better is merely not known.
