Zimbabwe Casinos
by Juan on December 25th, 2007
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of hitting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the lion’s share do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. 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, the pair of which offer table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of 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 beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until things get better is basically unknown.
