The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a higher desire to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For almost all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 established types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that many don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a very large tourist business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

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

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

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it is not well-known how well the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
