Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a higher desire to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For almost all of the locals living on the meager local money, there are 2 established styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that most do not buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a very substantial vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely unknown.
