Zimbabwe gambling dens
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a larger eagerness to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that most don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the country and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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 offer 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, both of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes 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 bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till things improve is merely unknown.
