Zimbabwe Casinos
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger desire to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For most of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local earnings, there are two established forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large vacationing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.
Among 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 hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have 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, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is basically not known.
