Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 established types of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many don’t buy a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pander to the very rich of the state and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a very large vacationing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two 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 just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is merely not known.
