Zimbabwe Casinos
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious market circumstances creating a greater ambition to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.
For the majority of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the country and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely large tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things get better is basically unknown.
