The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there would be very little appetite for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a higher eagerness to wager, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For most of the locals surviving on the abysmal local earnings, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of hitting are unbelievably tiny, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that most don’t purchase a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the domestic or the United Kingston football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a very large sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and connected bloodshed have cut into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain table games, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has contracted by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is merely unknown.
