The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there might be very little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For most of the people surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 popular forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of winning are unbelievably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably large. It’s been said by market analysts who study the situation that many do not buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the British soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, pamper the astonishingly rich of the nation and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around until things get better is simply not known.
