Zimbabwe gambling halls

by Rory on April 6th, 2016

The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a bigger desire to gamble, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 popular types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the majority don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the astonishingly rich of the country and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably large tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 Casino, which has only 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, the two of which offer table games, 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 table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is merely not known.
