Zimbabwe gambling dens

by Noel on Dec.13, 2009, under Casino

The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the critical market circumstances creating a higher eagerness to play, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For nearly all of the locals living on the meager nearby money, there are two established forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that many do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, look after the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. 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, the pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till things get better is basically not known.
