The act of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a risk at the current time, so you could envision that there might be very little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it seems to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market circumstances leading to a higher eagerness to play, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For the majority of the people subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are two common forms of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lottery where the odds of winning are surprisingly small, but then the winnings are also very high. It’s been said by market analysts who study the concept that many do not purchase a ticket with a real expectation of winning. Zimbet is built on either the local or the UK football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, pander to the very rich of the nation and tourists. Up until a short while ago, there was a very substantial tourist industry, built on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The market collapse and associated bloodshed have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming tables, slot machines and video 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 blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the market has deflated by more than forty percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come about, it is not understood how healthy the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will be alive till things get better is merely unknown.
