Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a higher ambition to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For most of the people living on the abysmal local money, there are two established forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until recently, there was a very substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. 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 contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has arisen, it is not known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions improve is basically not known.
