Zimbabwe gambling dens
Sunday, 11. October 2015
The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the critical economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.
For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local earnings, there are two popular types of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slot machines 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 slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until things get better is simply not known.
