Zimbabwe Casinos
Wednesday, 26. June 2019
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the critical market circumstances creating a greater eagerness to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the problems.
For many of the locals subsisting on the tiny local money, there are 2 established types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a very large sightseeing industry, based on nature trips 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 hall, which has only slot machine games. 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, both of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has 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 mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until things get better is simply not known.
