Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical market circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For most of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant styles of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that many do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably big tourist business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Amongst 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 den, which has just the slot machine games. 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 contain gaming tables, slots 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 slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is merely not known.
