Zimbabwe Casinos

September 9th, 2015 Leave a comment Go to comments

The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated violence have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair 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, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is basically not known.
