The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical market conditions creating a greater eagerness to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the people subsisting on the meager local money, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of profiting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the considerably rich of the country and vacationers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.

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 slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till things improve is simply not known.
