The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a greater desire to wager, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For nearly all of the locals living on the abysmal local money, there are two popular types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also extremely big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up until recently, there was a incredibly big sightseeing industry, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry through until conditions get better is basically unknown.
