The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a bigger eagerness to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local money, there are 2 common types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a considerably large tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about 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 metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around until conditions improve is basically not known.
