The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious market conditions creating a larger desire to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are 2 established styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the majority don’t buy a ticket with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the society and tourists. Until recently, there was a very large sightseeing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machine games. 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 gaming tables, slots and electronic poker 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 above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are also 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through till things improve is basically unknown.
