The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a bigger ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny local money, there are two established styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that many don’t buy a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pamper the extremely rich of the society and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have carved 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 slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things get better is basically unknown.
