Zimbabwe gambling dens
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the people living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a very big sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, 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 gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is simply unknown.
