Zimbabwe gambling halls
Thursday, 20. August 2020
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the awful market conditions creating a higher desire to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For the majority of the locals living on the meager local money, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the winnings are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that many do not buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict 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 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 have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is basically not known.
