Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the locals living on the tiny nearby money, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the majority do not buy a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very large vacationing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has 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 above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is basically unknown.
