The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic circumstances creating a higher ambition to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are two established forms of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also extremely big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that the majority don’t buy a card with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pander to the very rich of the state and travelers. Until recently, there was a incredibly large vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machine games. 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 pair of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has gaming machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on till things improve is merely not known.
