Zimbabwe gambling halls
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For many of the people subsisting on the meager local wages, there are two dominant forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a very big tourist business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is basically unknown.
