The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher eagerness to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.
For many of the people surviving on the abysmal local money, there are 2 common types of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the idea that the lion’s share do not buy a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the country and travelers. Until recently, there was a incredibly big sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits 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 have gaming machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: 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 recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has arisen, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions get better is simply not known.
