Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For almost all of the citizens living on the meager nearby money, there are two popular forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely not known.
