The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the critical market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to gamble, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the people subsisting on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 established forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the country and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a very big sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. 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 contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things get better is merely not known.
