Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful economic circumstances creating a larger desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that many don’t buy a card with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the state and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
