The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market conditions creating a larger eagerness to play, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the people living on the meager local wages, there are two popular types of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the considerably rich of the state and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely substantial vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have video poker machines and table games.

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

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions get better is simply unknown.
