Zimbabwe gambling halls
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater desire to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are two dominant types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that most don’t buy a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the state and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably large sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated violence have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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, both of which offer 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 has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until conditions get better is basically unknown.
