Zimbabwe Casinos
Wednesday, 25. August 2021
The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the desperate market circumstances creating a larger desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the situation.
For the majority of the citizens living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that most do not purchase a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Up till recently, there was a extremely large sightseeing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this market.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker 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 tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive till things get better is basically unknown.
