The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the moment, so you may think that there might be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the critical economic conditions creating a greater desire to bet, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For most of the people living on the meager nearby money, there are two established forms of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that most do not purchase a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the very rich of the country and travelers. Up till a short while ago, there was a very big vacationing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have carved into this trade.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come to pass, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till conditions improve is simply not known.
