The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it appears to be working the other way, with the atrocious market conditions leading to a greater desire to play, to try and locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For many of the people living on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the odds of profiting are extremely low, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the idea that many don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the UK football leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably big tourist industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and connected crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 Casino, which has just the slots. 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 contain gaming tables, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has come about, it isn’t known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will still be around till conditions get better is simply not known.
