The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that many don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the British football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on till things improve is merely not known.
