The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a higher desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the situation.

For almost all of the locals living on the meager nearby earnings, there are two common forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is built on either the national or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the country and vacationers. Up till recently, there was a very big vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.

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 gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, 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 offer gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is simply not known.
