The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher desire to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local money, there are two common styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of succeeding are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely substantial tourist business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have carved 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 just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, 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 video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically unknown.
