The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger ambition to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two common styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the extremely rich of the society and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly substantial tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only 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 pair of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is basically unknown.
