The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the other way around, with the crucial economic conditions leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For the majority of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 common styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the exceedingly rich of the country and tourists. Up till recently, there was a extremely substantial vacationing industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected conflict have cut into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will survive till conditions get better is basically unknown.
