The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you might imagine that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be operating the other way around, with the desperate market circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the crisis.

For most of the citizens surviving on the abysmal nearby earnings, there are two popular forms of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. As with practically everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also extremely high. It’s been said by economists who understand the situation that most don’t purchase a ticket with a real expectation of hitting. Zimbet is founded on either the local or the United Kingston soccer leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other hand, cater to the extremely rich of the country and sightseers. Up until a short while ago, there was a extremely substantial sightseeing business, built on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected violence have carved 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 slots, 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 two of which offer table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which has video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a pools system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and bloodshed that has arisen, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive until things improve is basically unknown.
