The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you could think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the meager local money, there are 2 dominant styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who study the concept that the majority do not buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is built on either the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Until a short time ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 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 market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around until things improve is simply unknown.
