The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there would be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the locals surviving on the meager local wages, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by economists who look at the subject that many don’t buy a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably substantial vacationing business, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is basically not known.
