The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local wages, there are 2 common forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that most do not buy a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the incredibly rich of the country and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably big tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains 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 houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it is not known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive until things get better is simply not known.
