Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that many do not buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the very rich of the country and vacationers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 just the 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 pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come about, it is not understood how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is simply not known.
