The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be very little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the opposite way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a greater ambition to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the crisis.

For the majority of the people subsisting on the tiny nearby earnings, there are 2 dominant forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the odds of winning are remarkably low, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the subject that the majority do not buy a card with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is centered on either the local or the United Kingston soccer divisions and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, pamper the astonishingly rich of the country and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a exceptionally substantial sightseeing business, built on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The market woes and connected violence have cut into this market.

Amongst 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 only slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing complexes in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will survive until conditions get better is basically not known.
