The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial economic circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to play, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For nearly all of the people living on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 dominant types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the prizes are also surprisingly high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that many don’t buy a card with a real assumption of winning. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up until not long ago, there was a very substantial sightseeing business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and associated 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 slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the economy has contracted by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has resulted, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry on till things improve is simply unknown.
