The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the moment, so you may envision that there might be very little desire for visiting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. Actually, it appears to be working the opposite way, with the critical market circumstances leading to a bigger desire to gamble, to attempt to locate a fast win, a way from the difficulty.

For almost all of the people living on the meager local wages, there are two common types of betting, the state lottery and Zimbet. As with most everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are remarkably small, but then the winnings are also very big. It’s been said by market analysts who study the subject that most do not buy a ticket with the rational assumption of profiting. Zimbet is built on one of the national or the UK football divisions and involves determining the outcomes of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other foot, pander to the incredibly rich of the nation and sightseers. Until a short time ago, there was a very large vacationing business, founded on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are two in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has five gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slot machines. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has only slot machines. Mutare has the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, the two of which have table games, slot machines and video machines, and Victoria Falls houses the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the pair of which offer video poker machines and tables.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is considerably like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing complexes in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the market has shrunk by beyond forty percent in the past few years and with the connected poverty and conflict that has cropped up, it isn’t known how well the vacationing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the near future. How many of them will carry on until things improve is merely not known.
