The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a bigger desire to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the people living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 common forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that most do not buy a card with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, cater to the extremely rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial sightseeing business, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected crime have carved into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has shrunk by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has cropped up, it is not known how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on until things get better is basically not known.
