The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be working the other way around, with the critical market conditions creating a greater eagerness to gamble, to try and find a fast win, a way from the crisis.

For nearly all of the citizens subsisting on the tiny nearby money, there are 2 dominant forms of gaming, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of hitting are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also remarkably high. It’s been said by financial experts who understand the situation that the lion’s share don’t buy a ticket with an actual belief of winning. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and travelers. Until not long ago, there was a very large tourist business, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which have gaming tables, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which has slot machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the above talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond 40 percent in recent years and with the associated poverty and bloodshed that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry on till conditions improve is basically unknown.
