Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 common forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the nation and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things get better is simply not known.
