The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a higher desire to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two established forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that many do not purchase a card with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the British football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Up until recently, there was a exceptionally large vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 only slot machine games. 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 have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come about, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is merely not known.
