Zimbabwe Casinos
Saturday, 6. April 2019
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For the majority of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up till recently, there was a very substantial tourist business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. 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, the two of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until conditions get better is basically unknown.
