Zimbabwe gambling dens
by Kenny on March 1st, 2016
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the problems.
For most of the locals subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are two common styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that many do not buy a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have cut into this market.
Among 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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has 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 pair of which have video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is basically not known.
