The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you might envision that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way around, with the desperate economic conditions leading to a greater ambition to play, to attempt to find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the meager local earnings, there are two popular forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also extremely large. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that many don’t purchase a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pander to the incredibly rich of the country and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines 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 tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through till conditions get better is basically not known.
