Zimbabwe gambling halls
Saturday, 1. July 2017
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the awful market circumstances leading to a greater desire to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.
For almost all of the locals living on the abysmal nearby money, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are extremely low, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a very substantial vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the market has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come about, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till things get better is simply unknown.
