The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate market circumstances creating a bigger desire to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For the majority of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two common styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that most don’t buy a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the considerably rich of the state and vacationers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 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, 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 has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 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 shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till things improve is simply unknown.
