The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the moment, so you could imagine that there would be little affinity for going to Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In fact, it appears to be working the opposite way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a larger ambition to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way from the problems.

For almost all of the locals subsisting on the tiny nearby wages, there are two established types of wagering, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a national lottery where the odds of hitting are unbelievably low, but then the jackpots are also very large. It’s been said by economists who understand the idea that many do not buy a ticket with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is centered on one of the local or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other foot, mollycoddle the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till not long ago, there was a exceptionally substantial tourist business, centered on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic anxiety and associated violence have cut into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain gaming tables, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, both of which has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a pools system), there is a total of two horse racing tracks in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd municipality) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has contracted by beyond 40% in the past few years and with the connected poverty and crime that has arisen, it is not well-known how healthy the sightseeing business which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of them will be alive until things improve is merely unknown.
