The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful economic conditions leading to a larger ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For many of the locals living on the abysmal local wages, there are two established styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the national or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the nation and vacationers. Until a short time ago, there was a considerably large vacationing business, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have cut 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 slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is basically unknown.
