The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a greater ambition to gamble, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the people surviving on the meager local money, there are two established forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that many do not purchase a ticket with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated conflict have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. 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 poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions improve is basically not known.
