The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a larger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the people surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of winning are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have carved 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely unknown.
