The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you might envision that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger desire to wager, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the situation.

For the majority of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are two common forms of wagering, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the subject that most don’t purchase a card with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the English football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the nation and travelers. Until a short while ago, there was a very large tourist business, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has resulted, it isn’t understood how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till things get better is basically unknown.
