The prospect of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little desire for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling dens. In reality, it appears to be functioning the other way around, with the desperate economic circumstances leading to a larger eagerness to wager, to try and discover a quick win, a way out of the crisis.

For the majority of the locals surviving on the meager nearby earnings, there are two established forms of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. As with almost everywhere else on the globe, there is a state lottery where the chances of profiting are extremely small, but then the prizes are also very big. It’s been said by financial experts who look at the subject that most don’t buy a card with an actual belief of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the UK soccer divisions and involves predicting the outcomes of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other shoe, pamper the incredibly rich of the country and tourists. Until not long ago, there was a incredibly large vacationing industry, based on safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic woes and associated violence have carved into this trade.

Amongst Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and one armed bandits, and the Plumtree gambling hall, which has just the slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just one armed bandits. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slot machines 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 dens and the aforementioned talked about lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the nation: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the 2nd city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the associated poverty and violence that has resulted, it is not known how healthy the tourist industry which funds Zimbabwe’s gambling halls will do in the next few years. How many of the casinos will carry through until conditions improve is basically not known.
