Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 popular styles of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably large sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is simply unknown.
