The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a greater desire to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the people subsisting on the tiny local earnings, there are two popular styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of winning are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that many don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the extremely rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing industry, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. 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, the pair 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 offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has diminished by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things improve is simply unknown.
