The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a greater desire to wager, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager local money, there are two common styles of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are unbelievably small, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the idea that most do not buy a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a very substantial vacationing industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two 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 just the slot machines. 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 offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until things get better is basically unknown.
