Zimbabwe gambling dens
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to wager, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.
For nearly all of the people subsisting on the meager local money, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the state and tourists. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut into this market.
Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till things improve is simply not known.
