Zimbabwe gambling halls

[ English ]

The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical economic circumstances creating a bigger eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 established styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are extremely small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority do not buy a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is merely unknown.
