The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a greater desire to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the people subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 established forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are extremely tiny, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority don’t buy a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the exceedingly rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is basically not known.
