The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the other way, with the desperate market conditions creating a higher desire to bet, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are two dominant types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that many do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a exceptionally large vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only 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 machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and table games.

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

Given that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has resulted, it is not understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is basically unknown.
