The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there might be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger desire to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the people surviving on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the incredibly rich of the state and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a very big vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.

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 slots. 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, the pair of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until things get better is merely unknown.
