The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might imagine that there might be very little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious market conditions creating a greater desire to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the tiny local money, there are two established styles of gambling, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lotto where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that most don’t buy a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the incredibly rich of the society and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely substantial vacationing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slot machines. 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 pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits 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 gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until conditions get better is simply not known.
