The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the critical market conditions creating a higher ambition to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 common types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 pair of which have table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around till conditions improve is basically not known.
