The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the locals living on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 established forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who study the subject that many do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the UK football divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the astonishingly rich of the country and sightseeers. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly large sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse 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 five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Centre in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexs in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40 percentin the past few years and with the associated poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is merely unknown.
