Zimbabwe gambling dens
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the critical market circumstances creating a greater desire to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 popular types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the country and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer 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, both of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically not known.
