The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the opposite way around, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a higher desire to gamble, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For most of the locals surviving on the tiny local money, there are 2 common forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on one of the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, look after the extremely rich of the nation and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.

Amongst 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 Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has deflated by beyond forty percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it isn’t known how well the tourist business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is simply not known.
