The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could envision that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the crucial market conditions creating a greater ambition to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most don’t purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, mollycoddle the very rich of the country and sightseers. Until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally large tourist industry, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. 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 have gaming tables, slot machines 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 offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come about, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions improve is simply not known.
