Zimbabwe gambling dens

The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger ambition to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.
For many of the people living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.
Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have carved into this trade.
Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have 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, both of which has video poker machines and tables.
In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.
Since the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is simply not known.
