Zimbabwe gambling halls

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger desire to bet, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For the majority of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the majority don’t purchase a card with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pamper the considerably rich of the state and travelers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict 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 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely not known.
