The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you might imagine that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the awful market circumstances leading to a bigger ambition to wager, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are 2 dominant styles of wagering, the state lottery and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the majority do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, look after the incredibly rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very large vacationing business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market anxiety and connected conflict have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which offer video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has arisen, it is not well-known how healthy the vacationing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive till conditions improve is merely unknown.
