The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate market conditions leading to a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the problems.

For most of the citizens subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two dominant styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of hitting are remarkably small, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that most do not buy a card with an actual assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the state and vacationers. Up till not long ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected conflict have cut 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things get better is basically not known.
