The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the meager nearby money, there are two established forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the society and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a extremely substantial vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has resulted, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive until conditions get better is merely not known.
