Zimbabwe gambling dens

[ English ]

The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby wages, there are two dominant types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that many do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the state and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is simply not known.
