Zimbabwe gambling dens
by Nathaniel on March 26th, 2021
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 appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the crisis.
For most of the locals surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that many do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the exceedingly rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have carved 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and table games.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come about, it is not known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is simply not known.
