The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could imagine that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the other way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a higher eagerness to bet, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the locals subsisting on the abysmal local wages, there are two established types of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of succeeding are unbelievably low, but then the winnings are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with the rational assumption of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the domestic or the United Kingston football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected violence 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 Casino, which has only slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls 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 metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has deflated by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until conditions improve is merely not known.
