The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you might envision that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate market conditions creating a higher ambition to wager, to attempt to find a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For the majority of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two common forms of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the jackpots are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by economists who look at the situation that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pamper the very rich of the state and tourists. Up until a short time ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, founded on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have carved into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which have gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a pools system), there are a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by more than 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has cropped up, it isn’t understood how healthy the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will carry through until things improve is merely not known.
