The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the crucial economic conditions creating a greater eagerness to bet, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the locals living on the meager local money, there are two popular types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by economists who look at the idea that most don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly large sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. 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 table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 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 economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till conditions get better is simply not known.
