Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the awful economic conditions creating a larger ambition to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the locals surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two dominant forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that many do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very big tourist industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is basically unknown.
