The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a larger desire to wager, to try and discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For many of the people subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two popular forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that most do not buy a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the country and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely large sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two 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 only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is simply not known.
