The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the locals living on the abysmal nearby wages, there are 2 popular types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, cater to the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a incredibly large tourist business, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. 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, both of which have table games, slot machines and video 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 casinos and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has resulted, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions get better is basically not known.
