The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the current time, so you may think that there might be little appetite for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be operating the opposite way, with the crucial market conditions leading to a greater ambition to bet, to attempt to find a fast win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the citizens subsisting on the abysmal local money, there are two dominant types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the probabilities of winning are extremely low, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who study the subject that the lion’s share don’t buy a card with a real assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on either the national or the British soccer leagues and involves predicting the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other hand, look after the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until recently, there was a extremely big vacationing business, founded on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated violence have cut into this market.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s casinos, there are two 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 only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slots. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the pair of which contain table games, slots and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which offer slot machines and blackjack, roulette, and craps tables.

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

Since the economy has diminished by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has come to pass, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing business which supports Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the near future. How many of them will be alive till conditions get better is simply unknown.
