The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you might think that there would be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens surviving on the tiny nearby earnings, there are two common styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are surprisingly small, but then the prizes are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the subject that most do not purchase a ticket with the rational belief of winning. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the British football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the very rich of the nation and travelers. Up till a short time ago, there was a incredibly big sightseeing business, centered on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slots 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 tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the economy has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated deprivation and crime that has arisen, it isn’t known how healthy the sightseeing business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around until things get better is simply unknown.
