The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the people surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that most do not buy a card with the rational expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the society and travelers. Until recently, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing industry, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, 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, both of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses 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 casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will be alive till conditions improve is basically unknown.
