The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way, with the awful market conditions leading to a greater ambition to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the locals subsisting on the abysmal nearby money, there are two dominant styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that most do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a very large sightseeing industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. 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 pair of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not understood how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until conditions get better is simply unknown.
