The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s casinos. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way, with the desperate economic conditions creating a bigger eagerness to wager, to attempt to discover a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For the majority of the people subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are two popular types of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, mollycoddle the considerably rich of the country and sightseers. Up until not long ago, there was a incredibly large tourist industry, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the vacationing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through till things get better is merely not known.
