The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be little appetite for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be functioning the other way, with the atrocious economic circumstances leading to a larger ambition to play, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For almost all of the citizens surviving on the tiny local wages, there are two dominant styles of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lotto where the chances of hitting are surprisingly low, but then the winnings are also unbelievably big. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the idea that the majority do not buy a card with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is founded on either the national or the British football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the considerably rich of the nation and vacationers. Up until a short time ago, there was a considerably big vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated crime have carved into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, 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 Casino, which has just the slot machine games. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have 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, the pair of which has slot machines and table games.

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

Since the economy has contracted by more than forty percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of them will still be around till things improve is basically not known.
