The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way, with the critical economic circumstances creating a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 established styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the society and tourists. Up till a short while ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions get better is merely not known.
