The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the awful economic circumstances creating a larger eagerness to bet, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two established types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the idea that many do not buy a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the national or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Until recently, there was a incredibly big tourist industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is basically unknown.
