Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For nearly all of the people living on the tiny nearby money, there are two established styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the majority don’t buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the very rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a very large tourist industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have cut into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the 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 have gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until things get better is basically not known.
