Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals subsisting on the meager nearby money, there are two popular types of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive till things get better is simply unknown.
