Zimbabwe gambling dens


[ English ]

The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.

For the majority of the citizens living on the tiny nearby wages, there are two popular types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 gambling den, which has just the slots. 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 have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: 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 the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on till things get better is merely not known.
