The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions leading to a bigger ambition to bet, to try and find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the citizens living on the meager nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant types of gambling, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are surprisingly low, but then the prizes are also surprisingly big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the concept that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the English football leagues and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the extremely rich of the state and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally big sightseeing business, centered on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, 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, the pair of which have table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has video poker machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not well-known how well the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the in the years to come. How many of the casinos will be alive until conditions get better is basically unknown.
