The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger desire to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 established types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t buy a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the state and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly big tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not well-known how well the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is basically not known.
