The entire process of living in Zimbabwe is something of a risk at the current time, so you may envision that there would be little affinity for patronizing Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. In reality, it seems to be working the opposite way, with the critical economic conditions leading to a larger eagerness to gamble, to attempt to find a quick win, a way from the situation.

For many of the people living on the meager local wages, there are 2 common types of betting, the national lotto and Zimbet. Just as with practically everywhere else in the world, there is a national lotto where the probabilities of hitting are extremely small, but then the jackpots are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by market analysts who look at the idea that the majority don’t purchase a ticket with the rational expectation of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the local or the United Kingston football leagues and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, on the other foot, cater to the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till a short time ago, there was a considerably large tourist industry, built on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated bloodshed have cut 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 slots, and the Plumtree gambling den, which has just the slot machine games. 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, the pair of which contain table games, slots and video machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, each of which have gaming machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s gambling dens and the aforestated mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there is a total of 2 horse racing complexes in the state: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second metropolis) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Given that the economy has shrunk by more than 40% in recent years and with the connected poverty and violence that has arisen, it is not understood how well the sightseeing industry which supports Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will carry on until things improve is basically not known.
