Zimbabwe gambling halls
Wednesday, 5. October 2016
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only 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, the two of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is merely unknown.
