The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic circumstances creating a higher desire to bet, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the meager local earnings, there are two established styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are unbelievably tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t buy a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and tourists. Until recently, there was a very large sightseeing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut 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 one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both 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 have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will be alive until things get better is merely not known.
