The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you could think that there might be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be functioning the other way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a higher eagerness to gamble, to try and locate a quick win, a way from the situation.

For most of the people living on the meager local money, there are two common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of succeeding are surprisingly tiny, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably high. It’s been said by financial experts who study the situation that the lion’s share don’t purchase a card with the rational belief of hitting. Zimbet is built on one of the local or the English football leagues and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, pamper the extremely rich of the country and sightseers. Until not long ago, there was a extremely large tourist business, centered on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which offer 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, each of which offer gaming machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls and the previously alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there are also 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has contracted by more than 40% in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t well-known how healthy the vacationing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the next few years. How many of them will still be around until conditions get better is basically not known.
