The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are two dominant types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the society and travelers. Up till recently, there was a considerably big sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is merely unknown.
