The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is somewhat of a gamble at the moment, so you could think that there would be little affinity for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it seems to be operating the opposite way around, with the atrocious market circumstances leading to a bigger eagerness to bet, to try and find a quick win, a way out of the difficulty.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager nearby wages, there are 2 common styles of gaming, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a state lotto where the chances of profiting are extremely tiny, but then the jackpots are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the situation that many don’t purchase a ticket with a real assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the domestic or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the society and tourists. Up till recently, there was a extremely large tourist industry, based on nature trips and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated crime have cut into this trade.

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 slot machine games. 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 pair of which contain gaming tables, one armed bandits and electronic poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which have gaming machines and table games.

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

Since the market has contracted by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated poverty and crime that has arisen, it isn’t understood how well the sightseeing industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling dens will do in the near future. How many of the casinos will survive till conditions get better is merely unknown.
