Zimbabwe Casinos
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a higher eagerness to play, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the situation.
For nearly all of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 common forms of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many do not buy a card with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably large tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions improve is merely unknown.
