The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager local wages, there are 2 dominant forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not known how well the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things get better is basically unknown.
