The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a higher desire to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are 2 established styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that the lion’s share do not buy a card with an actual expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the society and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated crime have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slot machines 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 video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until conditions improve is merely unknown.
