Zimbabwe gambling dens
by Hudson on Friday, April 15th, 2022
The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a higher ambition to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.
For many of the locals subsisting on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that many do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably big tourist business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.
Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair 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, the pair of which have slot machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the market has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive until things improve is merely unknown.
