The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you may think that there might be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a higher desire to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way out of the problems.

For nearly all of the locals surviving on the abysmal local wages, there are 2 established styles of wagering, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly large. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the majority do not purchase a card with a real expectation of profiting. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, pamper the exceedingly rich of the society and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably substantial tourist business, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has only slots. 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, the pair of which offer gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and conflict that has come to pass, it isn’t known how well the vacationing business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will survive till things improve is simply unknown.
