The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two popular types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of succeeding are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the British soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only 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 offer table games, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until things improve is simply not known.
