Zimbabwe Casinos

[ English ]

The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a higher desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the citizens living on the meager local earnings, there are two popular styles of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that the majority don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the exceedingly rich of the country and travelers. Up till recently, there was a very substantial tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. 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, both of which offer table games, 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 offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive until things improve is simply not known.
