The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions leading to a higher desire to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny local money, there are two popular forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and travelers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Among 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 one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things get better is basically unknown.
