The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the people surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are two common forms of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also remarkably large. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the very rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. 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 have 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, each of which has video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until things improve is basically unknown.
