The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the awful economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the people surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are extremely small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that most don’t buy a card with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably big tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things get better is basically unknown.
