The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a bigger ambition to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two common forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the exceedingly rich of the country and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions improve is simply unknown.
