The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the people living on the tiny local earnings, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are unbelievably small, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that most don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large sightseeing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected violence have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and tables.

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

Given that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has come about, it isn’t well-known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is merely unknown.
