The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may envision that there might be little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the tiny local wages, there are 2 common types of gambling, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly small, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that the majority don’t buy a ticket with an actual expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pander to the very rich of the nation and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a considerably big sightseeing industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 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 slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, one armed bandits and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the market has diminished by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till things improve is basically unknown.
