Zimbabwe Casinos
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 common types of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. 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 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 two of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is basically not known.
