The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In fact, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the awful market conditions leading to a greater eagerness to play, to try and locate a fast win, a way out of the difficulty.

For nearly all of the citizens living on the tiny local wages, there are 2 popular forms of gaming, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are remarkably small, but then the prizes are also extremely high. It’s been said by market analysts who understand the concept that many do not purchase a card with the rational belief of profiting. Zimbet is centered on either the domestic or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, mollycoddle the extremely rich of the state and tourists. Until a short while ago, there was a incredibly big vacationing industry, founded on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only 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 two of which offer table games, slot machines and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and tables.

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

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t well-known how well the tourist business which is the foundation for Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will carry through till things get better is simply not known.
