The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a larger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the meager nearby money, there are two dominant types of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that the majority don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the extremely rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer gaming tables, slots 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 video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it is not understood how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
