The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you may think that there might be little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious economic conditions creating a larger eagerness to bet, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For many of the people surviving on the meager nearby money, there are 2 popular styles of betting, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the odds of winning are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also very high. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the situation that the lion’s share do not purchase a ticket with an actual expectation of winning. Zimbet is based on either the domestic or the English soccer leagues and involves predicting the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, cater to the extremely rich of the state and vacationers. Up till a short while ago, there was a exceptionally big vacationing industry, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The market woes and associated crime have carved into this market.

Among Zimbabwe’s casinos, 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 gambling den, which has just the slots. 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, both of which have 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 have video poker machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite like a parimutuel betting system), there are also two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Since the market has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated deprivation and conflict that has come about, it isn’t well-known how healthy the tourist business which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will still be around till things improve is basically not known.
