Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a larger desire to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.
For most of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are two popular styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that most do not buy a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short while ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.
Amongst 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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is basically unknown.
