The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you may imagine that there would be very little appetite for supporting Zimbabwe’s gambling halls. Actually, it seems to be functioning the other way around, with the critical market conditions creating a larger ambition to wager, to attempt to discover a quick win, a way from the situation.

For many of the citizens living on the abysmal local money, there are two common styles of betting, the national lottery and Zimbet. Just as with most everywhere else on the planet, there is a state lotto where the probabilities of profiting are remarkably low, but then the jackpots are also remarkably high. It’s been said by economists who study the situation that many don’t purchase a card with a real belief of profiting. Zimbet is founded on one of the domestic or the British football divisions and involves predicting the results of future matches.

Zimbabwe’s gambling halls, on the other shoe, look after the astonishingly rich of the state and sightseers. Up till recently, there was a exceptionally large tourist business, based on safaris and visits to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and associated conflict have carved into this market.

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

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the previously mentioned lottery and Zimbet (which is quite 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.

Given that the market has deflated by beyond 40 percent in the past few years and with the associated deprivation and violence that has cropped up, it is not well-known how healthy the tourist industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the next few years. How many of them will survive until conditions improve is basically not known.
