The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For most of the locals living on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two established forms of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely small, but then the winnings are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that many do not purchase a card with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, 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, the two of which contain table games, slot machines and electronic 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 aforestated talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is simply not known.
