The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established forms of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the considerably rich of the society and tourists. Up till recently, there was a incredibly large tourist business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 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 only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through until conditions get better is simply unknown.
