The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there might be little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way, with the awful market conditions creating a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For many of the people living on the meager local wages, there are 2 established forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of profiting are remarkably tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that most don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the country and vacationers. Until not long ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this market.

Among 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 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 two of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on until things improve is simply not known.
