The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way, with the critical economic circumstances creating a larger eagerness to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the problems.

For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager local earnings, there are 2 established types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are extremely small, but then the winnings are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by economists who understand the subject that most do not buy a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, look after the very rich of the country and travelers. Up until recently, there was a incredibly substantial tourist industry, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected 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 five 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 only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and table games.

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

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t understood how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
