The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a larger desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established styles of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are unbelievably tiny, but then the winnings are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the concept that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly substantial sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits 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 table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by beyond 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions improve is merely not known.
