The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate market conditions creating a larger desire to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For almost all of the people living on the abysmal local money, there are two dominant forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the concept that most don’t buy a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK soccer leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the very rich of the nation and travelers. Up till recently, there was a incredibly big vacationing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which have table games, 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 offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has shrunk by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it is not understood how healthy the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is simply unknown.
