Zimbabwe Casinos
Wednesday, 16. December 2015
The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic circumstances creating a higher ambition to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two popular types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the society and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not understood how well the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until things get better is merely unknown.
