Zimbabwe Casinos
by Juan on February 1st, 2016
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a greater desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the situation.
For nearly all of the people living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 den, which has just the 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, the two 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, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is simply unknown.
