The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a larger desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the locals living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. 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, the two of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is merely unknown.
