Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the awful market circumstances creating a greater desire to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the locals living on the meager local wages, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that many don’t purchase a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have carved into this trade.
Amongst 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 slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: 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 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is simply not known.
