The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market conditions creating a larger ambition to gamble, to try and discover a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For many of the citizens subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 popular forms of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of succeeding are extremely low, but then the winnings are also remarkably large. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the majority do not buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the domestic or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, mollycoddle the exceedingly rich of the nation and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly substantial vacationing business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has gaming machines and table games.

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

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive till things get better is basically not known.
