Zimbabwe gambling dens
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a larger desire to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are two dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that many don’t buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the incredibly rich of the society and vacationers. Until recently, there was a considerably large sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.
Among 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 hall, which has just the slot machines. 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 offer table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the market has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
