The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there would be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances creating a greater ambition to wager, to try and find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the locals living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also very large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that the majority do not buy a ticket with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, one armed bandits 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 has video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has come about, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is basically unknown.
