Zimbabwe gambling halls
by Kenny on September 1st, 2015
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.
For most of the citizens surviving on the meager nearby wages, there are two dominant types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically not known.
