The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you might think that there might be little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be functioning the opposite way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the locals subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 common forms of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are remarkably tiny, but then the jackpots are also remarkably big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the local or the English football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, cater to the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a extremely big sightseeing business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer slot machines and tables.

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

Given that the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected deprivation and bloodshed that has cropped up, it is not known how healthy the vacationing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions improve is simply not known.
