The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful economic conditions creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by economists who look at the concept that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the English football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Up till not long ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated 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 five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain table games, slot machines 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 gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is merely unknown.
