The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the people surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 common styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that many do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, look after the astonishingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until recently, there was a exceptionally big tourist industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, one armed bandits 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 offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will still be around until things improve is basically not known.
