The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the critical market conditions leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way from the problems.

For many of the people surviving on the meager local money, there are two common types of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the odds of profiting are extremely small, but then the prizes are also very high. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that most do not buy a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the considerably rich of the nation and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very large tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, 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 has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have 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 has slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is basically unknown.
